Nobody was alarmed at Chinese corps holding so much data. The indian govt cannot face china on the battlefield (close ties, less tech and military capabilities) so had to resort to shitty things like banning Tiktok and PUBG. The media praised the move as brilliant, when it was the worst possible thing. Instead of implementing privacy laws, they are banning apps.

Banning Chinese apps might be a "shitty" thing but I would rather not have CCP easy access to the personal data of millions of Indians when the possibility of a war is very real.
