If they were really concerned about privacy, they would strengthen privacy laws. Adopt a GDPR like framework with opt-in consent and force platforms to implement a GrapheneOS like model with mock permissions and scoped consent. Banning apps is just a veiled attempt to appease other interests.

- potamic 2y agoDPDP is a watered down version of GDPR and is not as broad with its definition of personal data. Also for a privacy act, it does not have any directives on pseudonymization.

The jury is out whether one can be prosecuted for using an alias online or providing a fake location to an app.
