The Indian government has reportedly directed GitHub to restrict access to the repository of Bitchat, a Bluetooth-based messaging application created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. The action is said to have been taken over security concerns, making the repository inaccessible to users in India.
Bitchat is designed to enable peer-to-peer messaging over Bluetooth without requiring an internet connection, attracting attention for its decentralized communication model. While the app’s source code has been blocked on GitHub within India, the repository remains accessible in many other countries.
Neither GitHub nor the Indian government has released a detailed public statement explaining the specific reasons behind the restriction.

Meta has added USDC stablecoin payments for Meta ads, allowing advertisers to pay for their advertising using supported third-party cryptocurrency wallets.
The company supports stablecoin wallets that use USDC, including MetaMask, Coinbase and Binance. When advertisers pay with USDC, a third-party payment partner converts the stablecoin into local currency and settles the payment with Meta, which then credits the advertiser’s ad account.
Meta also allows creators to receive cryptocurrency through its creator monetization system. The company clarified that it does not issue, sell or custody stablecoins, instead working with third-party payment providers.
