Internet shutdowns or disruptions in connection with armed conflicts and mass demonstrations have led to people not being able to communicate or report abuses, which has caused further insecurity, violence and violations of human rights. Off.guard allows private individuals, journalists and human rights defenders to share information when and where deliberate disruptions of the occur.

Took a long time following links to find:

In order for off.guard to work properly make sure to activate push-notifications for this website in chrome settings and click activate notifications below. Then off.guard will take care of the rest.

So it's using net access to push info out.

I gave up finding more. Lots of marketing buzz words and little technical details.
