India should build an internet firewall like China did

No sarcasm here. After China built the firewall and blocked Google, FB, and Twitter etc, their own apps/platforms finally had the chance to grow and bring prosperity to the internet industry. Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, TikTok, Weibo, and a dozen more, you name it. Can India do the same?
