Acceptable Use & Safety
SKYNET is a community-operated resilient communications and education platform. Do not rely on it as a replacement for 911 or official emergency services.
Responsible use
- Do not transmit unlawful, harassing, threatening or deliberately misleading messages.
- Do not claim another person's or gateway's identity, operate unauthorized infrastructure, or circumvent access controls.
- Do not disclose other people's private locations, credentials or operational details without authorization.
- Respect applicable radio regulations and the limitations of the hardware, radio channels and operator permissions.
- Report suspected abuse or security problems through official RNPR support channels.
Reports and alerts
Mesh check-ins and Sentinel reports are observations until verified. An accepted report does not mean that an incident is confirmed, that help has been dispatched, or that a Watchtower delivered a message over RF.
Network availability
Coverage, GPS accuracy, message delivery, internet connectivity and gateway availability vary with conditions. Do not use SKYNET as the sole communications method for safety-critical decisions.
