How to Take Down a Dictatorship

We have to expect that oppressive governments will figure out text and picture messaging soon, so the current Myanmar blip probably won't be repeated.

Solution??? Manufacture satellite picture phones.?? Any picture they take gets automatically loaded to Flickr or another service, tagged with a custom tag (such as Myanmar_monks).

Build the things with a solar cell, so they can charge themselves.?? They can be somewhat big, but they must be small enough to hide.

Put them in airdrop-proof boxes with a picture of a phone on the side.

Airdrop them all over the countryside.

Precisely what I’ve wondered for years. Much nicer than bombs, and one would think it’s a natural extension of the Radio Free Europe project.
Sadly, I think the reason this will not happen is quite clear… the 'authority’ would not control the content. The cameras could just as easily be turned against them. Imagine if one had been around when the Blackwater incident took place.
