Indian authorities have ordered GitHub to remove the social app Bitchat, created by Jack Dorsey, after public protests against the platform. The move highlights growing governmental scrutiny over communication tools that have sparked controversy within the country.
According to officials familiar with the situation, the ban stems from complaints that Bitchat was being used to facilitate activities deemed problematic by local groups. The government’s directive to GitHub reflects its increasing vigilance in monitoring internet services that could stir social unrest.
