The mastermind behind this drama? A direct takedown request from the mighty Chinese cyberspace regulators. They whispered in Apple’s ear, and Apple whispered back, “Sure thing, buddy.”

A takedown notice
Bitchat claims to be the ultimate privacy fortress, keeping governments in the dark like a shady librarian at a midnight book club. The App Review team, wielding its famous “strict legal compliance issues” handbook, executed the removal with all the grace of a swatting pigeon.
We are writing to notify you that your application, per demand from the CAC (Cyberspace Administration of China), will be removed from the China App Store because it includes content that is illegal in China, which is not in compliance with the App Review Guidelines.
According to the CAC, Bitchat “violates Articles 3 of the Provisions on the Security Assessment of Internet-based Information Services with Attribute of Public Opinions or Capable of Social Mobilization.”
An inverse endorsement
The cryptocurrency and free‑speech hounds cheered. Some Bitcoiners are holding Bitchat up like a golden trophy, saying the ban is next‑level marketing. Bitcoin advocate Pierre Rochard fired a congratulations from deep in the ether. He declared a “reverse endorsement” so grand it might inspire future Hall of Fame entries.
This is an inverse endorsement of bitchat, congratulations @jack !

The X crowd echoed the sentiment, with one user declaring, “Bitchat vanishing in China feels like the best marketing campaign free speech could ask for.” And yet, for those hard‑to‑find, loyal fans, Bitchat remains a niche cult-no other user has noticed it since its release. A true mystery wrapped in a rumor.
