        Good on India. All democracies should have such a ban since China is using the openness of these societies to destabilize them for its own political gains. And don't forget, TicToc is not permitted in China either, because it may expose the Chinese to funny democratic ideas.

          good riddance

            Aflal, 26 Jan 2021Yeah. Please ban this kind of useless apps in other countri... moreWell said. Apps that cannot be trusted, need to be permanently removed.
            The EU should also follow suit. And grow a spine.

                  If you can't fight them, ban them.



                  We can expect that from country like india, they think about themselves too big but do too little

                    AnonD-923722, 26 Jan 2021Wow... Again? Why? Stop following USA's paths. It will... moreIndia isn't following the US path. They aren't banning the phones, they are just banning apps that fail to meet security and privacy requirements.

                      Anonymous, 26 Jan 2021So it is not about privacy but more about politics. Yes 100%

                      FB collects lot more than Chinese do :)
