Depends on where the people you want to keep in contact with are. A CB only has a range of a few miles ( depending on the height of your antenna ). HAM radio has a much broader reach, but requires a license and studying for exams, not to mention money for equipment and an area to set it up.
If you mean just a crackdown on websites, there is no problem there. You can just have your contacts on Skype and can either talk ( with video if you choose ) or leave text messages.

Not being paranoid; but getting a license puts your name on a government list. Just saying.
