PBS Shutdown and License Threats: Why Jack Dorsey Bitchat Mesh Networking Matters Now
With PBS shutting down and broadcast licenses under threat, Jack Dorsey's Bitchat mesh networking app emerges as a critical decentralized communication tool for emergencies.
The prospect of compromised communications isn't a dystopian fiction anymore. With PBS shutting down after losing federal funding and the current administration threatening broadcast licenses, the centralized grid is showing its cracks. In times of censorship or infrastructure failure, citizens need a resilient alternative.
Jack Dorsey Bitchat Mesh Networking: Staying Online Off-Grid
Last summer, Jack Dorsey announced Bitchat, a free mesh networking app designed to bypass traditional internet gatekeepers. Unlike standard apps that rely on central servers, Bitchat uses P2P connections between devices, allowing users to communicate even when the cellular network is down or restricted.
Emergency Preparedness in a Volatile Era
As reported by Boing Boing, the loss of federally funded media signals a broader shift in how information is controlled. If the administration moves to revoke licenses, digital communications are next. Tools like Bitchat offer a 0-cost safety net for those who prioritize privacy and continuity over convenience.
