      The article refers to one of the features of this app as to „prevent them from being misused“.

      That’s very broadly stated and would seem to depend on the app creators‘ definition of **misuse**.

      If I were in India and in need of a new phone, I’d buy one before the deadline.

      Privacy clash of titans India wants control Apple says nope Tech sovereignty vs user trust is getting spicy.

      I mean Apple refused the FBI and NSA request to give them a backdoor to Apple devices, so it’s not really unprecedented, they’re just keeping it the same as always

      Apple always been the goat in these cases, they rejected to give sensitive information of the terrorists to the FBI investigation of 9/11.
      Terrorism is a national issue, government is a the fault for not providing security to its nation,innocent individual’s privacy must be maintained

      Govt already backtracked on this after seeing people’s reactions. Standard MO of current Indian govt these days.

      Announce something, see people’s reactions, proceed accordingly.

      Ah yes, Apple getting defensive of their territory again. Fascinating the appreciation a corporation gets when it regularly tells other powerful entities ‚Fuck off, only *WE* get to dictatorially control what goes on in the phones people ~~buy~~ „*buy*“ from us.‘

      Most Indians cannot really afford Apple phones. This does very little against the surveillance state the Indian government wants to build.

      Hope they remain strong when UK, Canada, Australia and EU demands the same from them.

      Apple telling India that you aren’t as big a market as China yet. When you get there in a decade or so, we’ll bend our knees.
