INDIA JUST NUKED JACK DORSEY'S BITCHAT FROM THE APP STORE
India's MeitY hit Apple with a Section 69A order — Bitchat is GONE from India's App Store.
What we know:
• Apple confirmed the government takedown (Dorsey shared the notice)
• No specific "illegal content" was cited — classic opacity
• Bitchat runs on Bluetooth mesh, fully decentralized, no servers
• Still live in other regions, but TestFlight access in India getting axed too
This is the playbook: ban the tech that routes around centralized control. Dorsey's building censorship-resistant infra, and govs hate it.
Decentralization isn't just a meme — it's a threat to legacy power structures. Watch how many more "national security" takedowns we see this cycle.
