Why it matters
The use of Bluetooth-based communication apps during internet shutdowns represents a significant shift in how people maintain connectivity in restricted environments. This technology allows protesters and others to communicate securely without relying on traditional internet infrastructure, challenging authorities' ability to control information flow during demonstrations. Understanding and monitoring such technologies is crucial for both security agencies and civil rights advocates in managing digital communicatio...
In central Delhi locations such as Connaught Place and Jantar Mantar, 4G and 5G internet services were suspended during protests, leading to questions about how protesters maintained communication. Despite the internet shutdown, messages continued to be sent among participants, sparking curiosity about the technology enabling this. Delhi Police have initiated an investigation, suspecting that protesters involved in the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demonstrations are using Bluetooth-based communication applications to send messages without internet access. These apps operate independently of mobile data, Wi-Fi, or cellular networks, allowing users to exchange messages via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, which is available on most modern smartphones. Unlike popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram that require internet connectivity, these Bluetooth-based apps create a mesh network where encrypted messages are transmitted directly between devices in proximity. One notable example is the app Bitchat, available on the Google Play Store with over one million downloads. Bitchat does not require an account, phone number, or central server; instead, it sends encrypted messages through Bluetooth to nearby devices running the same app. This decentralized communication method enables users to stay connected even when traditional internet services are unavailable. While the police have not officially confirmed the use of any specific app, the incident has drawn attention to the potential of such technologies in protest scenarios and other situations where internet access is restricted. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited. This development underscores the evolving landscape of digital communication and the increasing use of alternative technologies to bypass internet shutdowns during public demonstrations.
