[NetBehaviour] Support Amnesia indigenous network of free radios and web servers in Brazil!

[Ruth Catlow]

Dear Ricardo,

This is such a great project for so many reasons.

Geeky question... Are you able to elaborate on any of the tech that you are
using to share and store data and content while preserving privacy and
avoiding censorship?

thanks very much for sharing it.

:)
