颶風襲牙買加 Bitchat應用下載暴增




Bitchat在牙買加應用程式排行榜上升至第二位,隨著颶風梅利莎襲擊

隨著185英里每小時的強風肆虐加勒比海,牙買加的去中心化消息應用程式Bitchat的下載量激增,因為當地的通訊系統受到嚴重影響。

牙買加人紛紛下載由傑克·多爾西(Jack Dorsey)推出的去中心化點對點消息應用程式Bitchat,這款應用程式利用藍牙網絡進行無需互聯網的加密通訊,現在已成為牙買加Apple和Google Play應用商店中下載量第二高的應用程式,為280萬人提供了生命線,因為該地區的互聯網覆蓋率持續下降。

Bitchat的下載量僅次於天氣預報平台Zoom Earth,這表明目前牙買加人最迫切的需求是了解天氣情況以及彼此之間的溝通。

根據CNN的報導,颶風梅利莎已經在加勒比海造成超過30人喪生,其中至少23人來自海地,無數家庭和企業也遭到摧毀。

最近,去中心化的加密消息應用程式的採用率主要是由於用戶離開了可能會審查內容或施加其他限制的集中式通訊平台。然而,Bitchat已成為在互聯網接入受到干擾的國家(無論是因為政府干預還是自然災害)的一個關鍵解決方案。

在九月份,Bitchat在尼泊爾的下載量因政府腐敗和社交媒體禁令而上升,該禁令封鎖了Facebook、Instagram、WhatsApp和YouTube,並引發了大規模抗議。在此之前一周,印尼的下載量也因抗議而上升。

類似的情況也發生在馬達加斯加,當時因持續的水電短缺而引發抗議,Bitchat的下載量大幅上升。

歐盟也在考慮有爭議的“聊天控制”法,該法將消除加密消息,迫使Telegram、WhatsApp和Signal等應用程式允許監管機構在消息被加密和發送之前進行檢查。這一提案旨在查找兒童虐待材料,並在十月接近通過時,德國表示反對,認為掃描私人消息違憲。投票已被推遲,下一次投票定於十二月初進行。

這一事件突顯了在危機時期去中心化通訊工具的重要性,尤其是在面對自然災害或政府限制時。Bitchat的成功不僅是技術的勝利,更是對於人類基本溝通需求的回應。在全球化的今天,這種工具的普及可能會成為未來社會抵抗信息封鎖和維護自由表達的重要手段。

在這樣的背景下,Bitchat的崛起不僅是因為其技術上的創新,更是因為它提供了一種在困境中保持聯繫的方式,這在當前的社會環境中顯得尤為重要。
