In that it’s a mesh network deployed and controlled by individuals, and provides a level of encryption, yes.
But the limited range and low bandwidth makes it ineffective at a large scale. Also a nefarious party (the government presumably in this example) could determine the rough location of nodes, were they so inclined.

It is good enough to usually work at a city wide level and between people within walkie talkie range. It’s only ever meant for resilient local comms, it is not meant to be a state or even county wide system even with mqtt
Meshcore seems to be overtaking Meshtastic in adoption recently, and it handles long-haul router placement and high traffic, high density nodes a good bit better for metro areas.
I haven’t either. My area is very small and barely has any meshtastic activity, but from asking the couple people on meshtastic public channel it doesn’t sound like there’s a single meshcore user in our area either.

I’ve been meaning to try out meshcore, but haven’t gotten around to it. It does sound promising.
