Most direct solution is to yeet them out of the solar system on a path that continually increases the distance between them and Earth. I think?

Edit: I can't read I guess so if they have to stay in the SS, you'd have to put them in a shadow somehow to minimize line of sight with Earth I guess.

Well lets say it's OK if the colony is outside the SS, it's a generational ship traveling to Proxima or Sirius. Wouldn't they be able to communicate just like we are in contact with the Voyager probes?

Round-trip communication will be at least 8 years, which is basically useless other than for news or maybe information about new technology.
