As off-grid journalism gains traction during protests, authorities are increasingly attempting to criminalize the use of peer-to-peer mesh networking apps under the guise of national security. Police forces have begun confiscating phones strictly to search for decentralized communication software.
The Bharat Media Association strongly opposes these crackdowns. Utilizing offline digital tools to read, verify, or distribute independent news is a fundamental democratic right, not a subversive criminal act.
