The only way is mesh. It’s the only way to permanently stop it.

Sneakernet mesh. RF can be triangulated and blocked.

Voice Over Vocal Chords as a new NFC RFC.

But seriously, your comment makes me want to find an article on how the Chinese have been thwarting bluetooth mesh chat in HK protests.

Sneakernet is the most future-proof solution. It's impossible to stop by design. It can be discouraged with arrest, but not stopped completely.

Not completely non-workable either. A lot of store-and-forward text messages would fit on a 256GB USB.
