Faraday nets are fucking genius.
I mean, that won't really work. It dampens the signal, not eliminates it, and in order to block communications, you need a net width small enough to block 1/4 wavelength which is 5cm/4, so <1 cm holes with a material thick enough for the damping.
That would be a net that weighs like 20kg lol and it would essentially be a solid cage at that point
Not to mention that it would have to fully encompass them.
Better to just use a signal jammer like they do for drones.
How dare you shatter my dreams and then reinvigorate them with a solution
With a just a few just large enough neodymium magnets.
No signal, no movement, no data.
Strong magnet or some kind of taser on a long stick, ez takedown.
