Do your own research on my statements, they are based on a brief review
   of their marketing materials from 1-2 months ago:
   The biggest problem I have with this project is that the sats are
   centralized. I don't see how it can live up to 'censorship free.'
   It depends on a crowd-sourced list of articles + funding from private
   advertisers.
   You need to be morally aligned with the 'majority of people' - the
   minorities are still oppressed and marginalized. Corporate interests
   pay for top hits. Not enough protection against sybil attacks. Many,
   many many many more problems they need to address.
   Neat idea on the face, though, just need to iron out some really big
   problems (sybil, distributed control of sat systems, ???.)

     Outernet, at least, appears to be a real thing:

     Appears to be a different project.
