#AppleRemovesBitchatFromChinaAppStore

​Apple has officially pulled Jack Dorsey’s decentralized messaging app, Bitchat, from the China App Store following a directive from the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).

​The Details:

​The Reason: Regulators cited violations of 2018 rules regarding services with "social mobilization capabilities" and "public opinion" influence.

​Bluetooth vs. Broadband: Interestingly, Bitchat operates via Bluetooth mesh networking, meaning it doesn't even require an internet connection to function—yet it was still flagged as a security risk.

​The Impact: The removal includes the TestFlight beta program, effectively cutting off official distribution in Apple's second-largest market.

​While Dorsey confirmed the news by sharing Apple's notification on X, many in the crypto community are calling this an "inverse endorsement" of the app's privacy strength. 🛡️
