What happened?
Jack Dorsey's Bitchat app has been pulled from app stores in India. The removal followed an order from the government.
Access restricted
After the decision, Bitchat is largely unavailable in India. Access to the app has been significantly limited because it can no longer be downloaded through the stores.
Why it matters
This is a concrete example of an app being removed from stores by government order. Cutting off access in a major market like India directly affects the app's user base.
