the Separatism seminar: samizdat defined — O.N.A.N.ite samizdat and the warrantless Mounties

Hal's dictionary-gloss doubles as the anthology's definition of anti-O.N.A.N. speech-politics: samizdat is "the sub-rosa dissemination of politically charged materials," and though there's "no real samizdat in the U.S. per se, First Amendment-wise," the "ultra-radical Québecois and Albertan stuff" that agitates against Interdependence qualifies as "O.N.A.N.ite samizdat" — "Materials advocating violence, destruction of property, disruption of Grids, anti-O.N.A.N. terrorism." And the enforcement is extra-constitutional: "the R.C.M.P.s are empowered to impound literature and even desktop-publishing... hardware... without any sort of warrant." The post-Reconfiguration order has a category of banned political speech and a warrantless police to seize it — the federal apparatus the samizdat-Entertainment will later plug into (107).
