INDIA ORDERS GITHUB TO REMOVE BITCHAT Jack Dorsey confirmed it himself on X: "the government of india does not like technologies like bitchat and wants it taken down." WHAT HAPPENED: India's I4C (Home Ministry) gave GitHub 3 hours to delete 3 Bitchat repositories, saying the app's Bluetooth mesh design blocks lawful interception. WHY NOW: Delhi students have protested for 30+ days over exam paper leaks. When mobile internet was cut on 20 July, they switched to Bitchat, an app that works with no internet, no SIM, no servers. QUICK FACTS: 🔹 Correct repos: permissionlesstech (not pmndrs) 🔹 This is a Section 79(3)(b) safe-harbour notice, not a 69A ban 🔹 GitHub has not responded yet 🔹 2,400+ forks exist, deleting the repo cannot stop a mesh network
