India Orders GitHub to Remove Bitchat App Over Security Concerns
Government orders GitHub to remove Bluetooth-based chat app Bitchat: Jack Dorsey
The Indian government has directed GitHub to take down the Bluetooth-based messaging app Bitchat, citing security risks. This action follows observations of protesters at Jantar Mantar using the app to communicate after internet services were temporarily restricted. Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, the app's developer, publicly shared the removal notice, highlighting the government's stance against such technologies.
The Government of India does not like technologies like Bitchat and wants it taken down.
