> be susceptible to foreign owned apps influencing its citizenry
Are they banning all of the internet, books, movies and everything else too? Your position is that a state needs to control what the citizens can consume otherwise it's a vassal state?
My country lived under dictatorship with hard censorship before, and reading your comment that was the vibes I got.
- hunglee2 4y agonothing is getting banned, governments are asking for access, which Signal is signalling it will refuse and withdraw service. India is a democracy, like the US, which makes similar requests for access for its domestic tech / media firms, as well demand the same for the few foreign owned ones which have had success in the country.
