For those who are unaware, India banned Tiktok recently: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/world/asia/tik-tok-banned...

I support this move - in addition to censorship, there are serious consequences of collecting facial features en-masse with no checks/balances, especially by the CCP who probably already has a massive database of non-Chinese nationals. This also applies to any company (Facebook/Apple/etc) but I am significantly more concerned about CCP having this data than any other government in the world.

People who are about to present with a counter US whataboutism, they need to first watch the Vice clip on how China tracks people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLo3e1Pak-Y
