Comment on India scraps order to pre-install state-run cyber safety app on smartphones

Comments

This is the standard playbook. And the gov just pulled a switcheroo:

Policy that is hard to pass: SIM binding for all messenger apps and automatic log out every 6 hours for desktop apps.

Even more egregious policy: Pre-install spyware that cannot be disabled.

Withdraw the egregious policy on outrage, and people think they have won the battle.
