Although this is being portrayed as "social media", recall that the definition is *much* broader than that:
You could not message your children on Signal, or your own home XMPP service.
They could not lawfully contribute to, perhaps even read, a wiki.
No shared calendars with family.
And so on.

Today - 25 July - is the deadline for user-to-user services subject to the UK's Online Safety Act to have "highly effective age assurance" in place for UK users, if the site's content requires it. (Not all sites/content require age assurance.)
Please be careful, especially if you are in the UK.
Think before handing over ID documents, and be especially mindful of mistyped URLs and other scams, trying to obtain your personal data for phishing or blackmail purposes.
Bitchat, Jack Dorseys neuer Messenger, will Bluetooth-Chats ohne Internet und zentrale Server ermöglichen – verschlüsselt, anonym, dezentral. Klingt innovativ, ist aber längst nicht neu: Briar macht das seit Jahren, stabil und quelloffen. Der Hype um Bitchat wirkt eher wie ein PR-Vehikel.
