WhatsApp scrambles as users in big Indian market fret over privacy

For that countries have to be economically strong to dictate their terms.

Build your own telco products, your own firewalls. Your own cloud infrastructure. Of course this takes time..Meanwhile just cling to your upcoming superpower neighbor..

I don't think so Whatsapp would even consider if Pakistanis switch to Signal, Telegram, or any other app. While this may not be true for India.

Why not? Pakistan is the 6th biggest population in the world. Among top 10 countries with most internet users. Pakistan is one of the biggest markets, we have serious business to offer. People here are spending more today.
