The offline communication app supported by Jack Dorsey is playing an unexpected role in Uganda. During a period of increased network censorship, this decentralized app has become a vital communication tool for users with disconnected networks. This case highlights the practical value of privacy-first communication technology in countering censorship—users can stay connected without relying on centralized infrastructure. For the Web3 ecosystem, this updates our understanding of real-world use cases for decentralized applications. When networks are restricted, decentralized solutions often prove to be the most valuable.
