Ian Schuller of the State Department admitted on C-SPAN that the "Internet in a Suitcase" was a meme created for a photographer rather than a literal piece of hardware. The $30 million project actually focuses on developing software to create local mesh networks using existing cell phones and routers. The hosts describe the technology as essentially "Ubuntu on a stick" and criticize the government for rebranding basic intranet technology as a revolutionary tool for dissidents.

The U.S. State Department is funding an "Internet in a Suitcase" project to help dissidents in repressive regimes bypass government-controlled servers using mesh technology. However, critics like John Young and the hacker collective Anonymous warn that these systems allow the U.S. to monitor and influence foreign activists. The program is also linked to "persona management" software that allows a single user to control multiple fake online identities to manipulate social media narratives.
