Why did you ban the TikTok app?
Data, privacy & security reasons. correct?
- Data privacy and security: The government expressed concerns that these apps were collecting and storing large amounts of user data, which could be misused or shared with foreign governments.
- Border tensions: The ban came shortly after a deadly border clash between India and China, heightening tensions between the two countries.
- Sovereignty and integrity: The government believed these apps could threaten India’s sovereignty and integrity, potentially allowing foreign entities to influence public opinion or gather sensitive information.
and now coming to my question, Why aren't you banning or regulating Instagram?
Can’t you see what the platform is doing in India? Don’t you see the app’s impact on the psychology of this country’s citizens? Don’t you see the misuse of the data to target every individual with provocative content or run campaigns and promote anti-national content and creators by all the American-owned platforms?
Don’t you find it scary? a threat to national security? Don’t you like to regulate YouTube? especially the Instagram as soon as possible?
In the case of TikTok, I agree and support your decision. But why are so soft and neglected when it comes to American-owned companies? Can’t you create your software and platforms like China under Make in India?
