So India sent GitHub a letter with a take down order for Bitchat, worded to sound like bitchat protects people's privacy.
But it's still available in the playstore in India?
Put two and two together.
Journalists and activists have been warned repeatedly not to use the app because it makes it easier for law enforcement to track you.
Your location, who you are messaging, information about your device, all exposed to anyone that wants it.
India leaving it on the play/app store because if you get it from there, it has the kyc google/apple shit attached to it.
Tried to zap someone who does not have a lightning wallet connected.
Instead of telling me they don't have a lightning wallet connected the pop up told me I don't have sufficient funds.
No issues with my wallet everything is working fine, just the wrong pop-up.
The sun is so nice today.
Days starting to get longer again.
Acacia trees in full bloom.
It's the start of false spring
Halfway through September we usually get a frost that kills all the frost sensitive spring plants, that's the last day of false spring, after that it's true spring with no more frost.
Freedom tech = buzzword for spying tools
Seriously, if someone uses the term "freedom tech" consider that a red flag, they are reading lines sent to them by their deep state spy agency handlers.
Half these retard influencers probably too stupid to even understand that the stuff they are promoting is just spying tools
I'm sure half the retards promoting bitchat actually think it's a privacy tool.
Somehow being able to send a message to the person sitting directly next to you is more secure than whispering into their ear?
Two cups connected with a string is more secure for of communication than bitchat.
When wifi mesh already exists and works over longer distances and is more secure.
Why would you be trying to convince people to use a Bluetooth mesh network that is promoted by USA spy agencies and provides no security while also forcing users to share their location information and other things for no apparent reason...
Clearly bitchat is a psyop.
Yelling words out loud is a safer form of communication at protests, and people can hear you yelling at about 10 times the distance of a Bluetooth connection.
There is no reason to use bitchat, just a shitty spying tool for sending messages to someone sitting directly next to you instead of whispering in their ear because the nsa can't track what you wisper into someone's ear
Rich Metadata Harvests
Agencies can easily map out who is communicating with whom, at what exact timestamps, and follow the multi-hop paths messages take across the mesh.
Predictable Peer ID Tracking
cryptographic analysis shows that BitChat's peer ID generation algorithm is insufficiently random. Sophisticated intelligence agencies can easily reverse-engineer or predict these ID rotations, stitching together a single user’s physical path across a geographic area.
BLE Physical Fingerprinting
Because BitChat relies heavily on BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for continuous peer discovery, devices must constantly broadcast packets to find nearby users.
The spy agencies and local law enforcement utilize directional antenna arrays, static "sniffer" nodes, or surveillance drones to intercept these radio frequencies.
By tracking a device’s unique radio hardware quirks, they can track a target's physical movements in real-time.
Malicious Node Insertion
These state-controlled nodes can selectively log transit traffic, harvest metadata, map the exact architecture of a protest or local group, and launch targeted exploits via buffer overflow vulnerabilities to completely hijack high-value devices.
