For those who are unaware, India banned Tiktok recently: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;06&#x2F;29&#x2F;world&#x2F;asia&#x2F;tik-tok-banned-india-china.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;06&#x2F;29&#x2F;world&#x2F;asia&#x2F;tik-tok-banned...</a><p>I support this move - in addition to censorship, there are serious consequences of collecting facial features en-masse with no checks&#x2F;balances, especially by the CCP who probably already has a massive database of non-Chinese nationals. This also applies to any company (Facebook&#x2F;Apple&#x2F;etc) but I am significantly more concerned about CCP having this data than any other government in the world.<p>People who are about to present with a counter US whataboutism, they need to first watch the Vice clip on how China tracks people: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CLo3e1Pak-Y" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CLo3e1Pak-Y</a>
