A second order followed on July 22, cutting internet access from 6 pm until 6 am the next morning.The third order was on Thursday, extending the suspension from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm.

Instead, the app creates a Bluetooth-based mesh network that connects nearby users, allowing messages to be exchanged without an internet connection.The absence of mobile internet did little to disrupt the organisation of the protest.
