India gave GitHub three hours to remove Jack Dorsey's Bitchat.

India's Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre issued an order dated July 23 directing Microsoft-owned GitHub to take down Bitchat, the Bluetooth Low Energy mesh messenger, with a three-hour compliance window. Dorsey made the notice public on X. The order cites risk that decentralized platforms enable unlawful assembly, misinformation and radicalization; the trigger appears to be a download spike during student demonstrations at Jantar Mantar in Delhi over alleged exam leaks. The precedent that matters to builders is jurisdictional: this is a takedown demand aimed at source code on a hosting platform, not an app-store listing.
