As others have pointed out in this thread, why doesn't india create their own tiktok or instagram instead? Just clone them if they can't come up with something new. Neither instagram nor tiktok is rocket science. The value of instagram and tiktok isn't their "technology" or algorithm, it's their users. Why is india ceding their entire market to an american ( or chinese ) company to begin with? Love them or hate them, at least the chinese leadership are competent. What are india's leaders doing? At least when the chinese ban foreign companies, they build up their own homegrown champions. I thought when india banned tiktok, they were going to do the same. Instead, they just handed over the market to facebook.
