🚫 Apple Pulls Jack Dorsey’s "Bitchat" in China

The digital walls just got a little higher. Apple has officially removed **Bitchat**—the decentralized messaging app from Jack Dorsey’s team—from the China App Store.

Why the sudden move?

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) flagged it for violating regulations regarding apps with "social mobilization" capabilities. Because Bitchat uses **Bluetooth mesh networking** to work *without* an internet connection, it effectively bypasses traditional firewalls—making it a major target for regulators.

The Bigger Picture:

Jack’s Reaction Dorsey shared the notice on X, highlighting the ongoing struggle between decentralized tech and local laws.

Global vs. Local:While it’s gone in China, Bitchat remains available elsewhere and continues to grow (over 3M downloads globally).

The "Mesh" Threat This proves that peer-to-peer, offline communication is becoming the next frontier for both privacy advocates and regulators.

It’s a classic case of "Unstoppable Tech" meeting "Immovable Regulation." Does this move make you more or less interested in decentralized tech?
