BREAKING: China has ordered Apple to remove Bitchat, a messaging app developed by Jack Dorsey, from the China App Store.
The order was issued by Chinese regulators citing rules that require apps capable of enabling large scale communication or social mobilization to undergo a security review before distribution.
Bitchat operates differently from traditional messaging apps.
It uses Bluetooth and mesh networking to send messages directly between nearby devices, allowing communication without internet access, SIM cards, or centralized servers.
Because of this design:
• Messages can be relayed across multiple devices.
• The system does not rely on telecom networks.
• There is no central server infrastructure.
Apple has previously removed apps from the China App Store following regulatory requirements, including VPN and encrypted messaging services.
🚨 POLITICS: COINBASE REJECTS LATEST SENATE STABLECOIN YIELD COMPROMISE
@coinbase has told Senate offices it cannot support the newest CLARITY Act language on stablecoin yields, throwing another wrench into the crypto industry's top legislative priority.
The exchange voiced concerns during a Monday meeting over the latest compromise text drafted by Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks, which bans passive stablecoin yield while allowing activity-based rewards. The new "economic equivalence" standard is broader than prior drafts.
The resistance is reportedly less severe than CEO Brian Armstrong's January opposition that single-handedly derailed the bill's markup. Talks are continuing, but without Coinbase's backing the legislation faces a difficult path. Senator Moreno has warned the bill stalls indefinitely if it doesn't pass by May.
