Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
Discuss... Could not tag bytedance.. how Important is the Indian market for you guys? 119 Million active users , 278 Million downloads.
Can we stop posting this? I’m seeing 10+ posts on this today. I mean who tf cares. how many Indians on this app exactly.
278 Million ttk. 119 million active. It's one of the rare news that affects tech and politics together. Looking for someone from ByteDance to comment , how important is india to their business. I personally see this ban for a few months only.
@moto, This is typical Indian style - over dramatising every news as if the world will end without it . And then forget everything about it by next week. Get used to this as Blind is now full of Indians.
A total of 59 Chinese apps were banned. Not just Tik Tok. All of them had huge number of users in India.
Backwards nationalists
How many revenues do these apps generate in India? For TikTok, it is not even in their list of revenue generators despite it accounts 40% of the downloads. China and the US are their top two revenue generators respectively. So what cares if they ban or not!
Not just revenue, but the free data
U gather free data to generate revenue. The thing is that India is one the toughest markets to crack for foreign companies because of their unique spending culture. How many has FB make in India? Not much at all. There is enough population outside of India and they are more willing to spend $$.
All this is a joke. People will still blindly install random stuff on their phones. Only when the news is trending, will people shout for privacy. Otherwise it's back to daily life.
That banning was a tip of an iceberg
What's the rest of the iceberg?
