The Mesh Network Revolution: Decoding Jack Dorsey’s Bitchat App and the Blueprint for Sovereign Communication

In July 2025, the digital communication landscape underwent a fundamental shift when Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter and CEO of Block, Inc., unveiled his latest project, Bitchat. This decentralized, peer-to-peer free messaging application represents the culmination of Dorsey’s long-standing fascination with censorship-resistant protocols and his vocal advocacy for digital sovereignty.

When faith in numbers replaces thought, tyranny no longer needs a face—just a dashboard.
My latest Philosophics post examines the ontological and epistemological rot beneath our obsession with data, “velocity,” and efficiency.

#Knowledge first or #belief first #epistemology? Or even data first if you fall foul of #dataism. Data is a mechanism in the process.

What’s if neither knowledge or data is ‘first’? What if knowing is built on #value and #values instead?

Values -> value -> knowledge -> belief
(If you want an order).

I got here by way of #SystemsTheory rather than purely traditional routes.

This 2022 post relating #dataism and #universityrankings to the #mentalhealth of students and teaching staff is well worth a reread. https://openpresstiu.pubpub.org/pub/being-a-good-university-in-times-of-dataism/release/1. Need to explore the recent (empirical) research on the topic.

@Eetschrijver Can you tell me what your opinion of it is? I'm kinda curious what people think who have actually read the book. What is the problem that #dataism will fix?

@Eetschrijver Yeah, it is a bit like how that #Murphy's #Law goes:

“Whoever has the gold, makes the rules.”

Although you could say that gold has been replaced several times already by #oil and #data.
That reminds me of #dataism. Are you familiar with that?

Looking forward to #ISA in Montreal next week. With @bhaggart we'll be presenting on #dataism, #smartcities & Google's failed smart city project in Toronto as a case of private infrastructure. The paper is based on our forthcoming book (open access!): The new knowledge: information, data & the remaking of global power (Rowman & Littlefield). Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new connections!

"#ChatGPT’s designers could have aimed to create a tool with a regard for verified truth, or at least judged their progress by whether that is possible. But such a goal, which would have required privileging scientific, subject expert judgment, goes against the hard core of #dataism, where truth is determined by mere correlation."

ChatGPT Strikes at the Heart of the Scientific World View

Expertise with data collection and manipulation has all too often been equated with deep understanding of that area.
