India, July 25 -- Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey on Friday claimed that the Indian government wants his Bluetooth-based messaging app Bitchat taken down, sharing what appears to be an official government order by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Union ministry of home affairs, directing GitHub to remove access to the app's source code.

"The government of India does not like technologies like Bitchat and wants it taken down," Dorsey wrote on X. The screenshots shared by Dorsey show a notice dated July 23, purportedly issued by the I4C. The order directs GitHub to remove or disable access to three repositories related to Bitchat within three hours.
