No, Briar makes it possible to connect over the web as well.
If an app only connects over BT + WiFi, how often is someone really going to use that? I mean you have to be within shouting distance. In the case of Briar, it just uses whatever is the most secure method available at that time, and one of the methods is more or less always available.
Also this is vibecoded, which is undesireable in general, but especially so in any kind of secure setting.

This app claims it filters offensive text and images before you see them. If you were poking around in the code, did you happen to see any indication that this was actually a thing? I downloaded the app, and observed there was no way to control any settings, let alone content filtering ones.
