[39c3] Secure Offline Communications: What's Next?
It's the end of 2025 and digital authoritarianism becomes only ever more sophisticated. We want to use this opportunity to pause and reflect: how is the situation for citizens in different contexts around the world? What are people's actual needs?...

Jack Dorseys Bluetooth-Messenger bringt dezentrale Kommunikation
Jack Dorsey hat mit #Bitchat eine #Messenger-App veröffentlicht, die ohne zentrale Server oder Internet funktioniert. Die App nutzt #Bluetooth und erreicht über andere Geräte eine Reichweite von bis zu 300 Metern (bei der Alternative #Bridgefy sind es 100 Meter).
Bitchat sammelt oder speichert keine Daten, funktioniert ohne Benutzerkonten und bietet eine Panikfunktion, die alle Daten durch dreimaliges Tippen auf das App-Symbol löscht. Geeignet für Großveranstaltungen, Protestbewegungen und Szenarien ohne Internetzugang, wie Katastrophen oder abgelegene Gebiete.

AnnaLooking for a meshnet type app (like Bridgefy) that is not linked to Google. Am currently trialing Session and Briar but after one that is both Apple and Android. Plan is to have my family/friends on them for contact at festivals, big gatherings where 4/5G phone service is down and no wifi. #meshnet #bridgefy #alternativeTo
