India orders Bitchat removed from the App Store

Original: Government of India officially removes bitchat from the App Store

The Government of India has officially removed Bitchat, Jack Dorsey's Bluetooth-based mesh messaging app, from Apple's App Store. The move was announced on X and is drawing significant attention in India, where the app had been trending. No detailed official explanation for the removal has been widely reported yet, and users are debating whether it relates to regulatory or security concerns.

Why now: A government action against a high-profile app created by Twitter's co-founder has sparked debate over app regulation and censorship in India.
