Nepal youth are using the most dangerous messaging app, BitChat!
In Nepal, the government banned apps like Facebook and YouTube to stop protests. But young people found another way. They started using Bitchat, a Bluetooth-based messaging app that works without mobile data or Wi-Fi. This helped them stay connected and plan large rallies, even when the internet was blocked. Within days, the prime minister resigned.
-
Bitchat passes encrypted messages from phone to phone; no SIM or internet is needed.
-
Protesters also used Discord, where more than 1.4 lakh people joined servers to discuss leaders.
-
At least 19 protesters died in clashes, but the movement grew stronger.
-
VPNs and offline apps helped youth avoid censorship and stay organized.
👉 Why this matters: Young people showed that technology can fight censorship and change politics.
