Jack Dorsey launched Bitchat, a Bluetooth mesh messenger he built over a weekend, but security researchers have already found vulnerabilities and there's no proper security audit process. I break down what Bitchat actually does, compare it to existing alternatives, discuss the security concerns, and explain why you should probably stick with proven messengers for now - even though Dorsey's own GitHub warns not to rely on its security whatsoever. Techlore empowers individuals with practical digital privacy knowledge, security tools, and advocacy resources. Discover how to protect your online data and regain control of your digital identity.
