Tor, TAILS or just linux, ipfs. Those are a few technologies, and there are probably others, and some will likely be built on top of these later.

Average intelligence means any overly technical solution isn't going to be effective. For example, you can technically side-load an app onto iPhone by self-signing it, but .0001% of the population willing and able to do so will never defeat app store censorship. Most people would not be willing or able to switch to Ubuntu, let alone TAILS. It's good that they exist, but it's not going to save civilization.

Getting people to Switch from Chrome to a Chrome-like free speech browser like Dissenter is by far the best effort versus impact ratio we have now against big-tech censorship. There's very little compromise to switching browsers with additional features and the same core code. Even a secure OS can't solve tech censorship, but Dissenter browser enabling people to comment on web-pages could. In my opinion, we need to be putting just as much effort into migrating from Chrome and Firefox to Dissenter as we do making memes.

That's fine for us tech folks using desktop apps and browsers but normies use their mobile devices and none of them are going to take the time to install and learn an alternate OS either on their desktop or mobile device.

Hmm... what about companies and their IT departments though?
