Megaphones are banned at many of the Occupy protests. However, this hasn’t stopped speakers from addressing the masses.
Crowds are using a low tech way of getting around this by repeating the words of the speaker to create a human megaphone. There are several recorded examples of speeches delivered this way including Naomi Klein and Michael Moore.
I find this strangely moving - partly because it is very effective (once the speaker gets used to it!) but also because it makes a mockery of the regulation trying to surpress the speech in the first place.
