"Bitchat enables anonymous communication without mandatory user registration, phone number verification, or centralized logging of communications.

The technical architecture of the application significantly impedes interception, attribution, and investigation by law enforcement agencies."

Why can a nation force an internet website to take down anything? This used to be beyond the nation's reach. The answer is of course, that these website owners complied with sharing their banking identity and registering their businesses. IDIOTS..

I was able to reach the repo this morning. How was it taken down? And smelly indians have no jurisdicaiton over the USA. India is a crappy country, and their problems are theirs, not ours. Why is anyone even giving their stupid letter any attention?

well.. this is a nicely decorated with words of a document for sure but what is the regulated punishment if github didnt comply within 3 hours?

Most likely coordinating this psyop with the Indian government so that Indians download bitchat and it gives the Indian government a backdoor into their devices and helps them track people

The app also enables offline communications during natural disasters and can save lives. Surely the government of India wants to save its citizens lives, right… right?
