India just banned Jack Dorsey's Bitchat.
But here's the thing — can they actually enforce it?
Bitchat runs over Bluetooth. No SIM. No internet. Pure mesh networking.
Pulling it from app stores? Cool. Doesn't delete the copies already on phones.
This raises a gnarly question: Can governments kill tech that's built to survive when the internet goes dark?
Censorship-resistant comms are the next battleground. Not just for crypto — for freedom of speech itself.
If they can't shut down Bluetooth mesh apps, what's next? Hardware bans? Device-level surveillance?
Watch this space. It's bigger than one app.
