The anti-censorship capabilities of open-source Bluetooth mesh communication tools have once again attracted attention. Local regulatory authorities have indicated that restrictions may be imposed on certain applications, but their development teams emphasize that core features make such bans essentially ineffective.



The key lies in its architectural design—no reliance on central servers, with user devices connecting directly via Bluetooth to form an autonomous network. This means that even if a single point is restricted, the distributed nature of the entire network can still operate. More importantly, the fully open-source codebase makes any restrictions difficult to sustain long-term, allowing the community to iteratively develop and deploy.

Application growth data is quite compelling. In a short period, Uganda's downloads exceeded 400,000, and founder Calle's public statements further boosted user interest. This reflects how urgent the demand for decentralized communication tools is under certain geopolitical contexts.

This confrontation exposes the fundamental contradiction between traditional regulatory methods and new open-source technologies—the latter's inherent decentralization and transparency are redefining the boundaries of communication freedom.
