#52How exactly does a movers-n-packers/goods shipping company become prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India let alone not be in the best interest of the citizens? Like did they conduct a poll to ban Lalamove? Real baller move would be to ban anything with a China built SoC, if at all hatred for China is a reason to begin with.
India is trying to be china or to some extent US but without having the development of either of those countries.
Why is it wrong for India to aspire to these? They have achieved quite a bit in the past decades.

Can you explain more?

> Data is the new oil This is a bad analogy. Oil is a commodity. Data are not. Oil is extractive.

What is with programmers and their utter failure to understand an analogy, is it their literal mind? Is it the lack of socialization when growing up?. "Data is the new oil" just means that it is an important economical and political asset, that's it that's the extend of the analogy.Nobody is thinking about API degrees, viscosity, sulfur content, etc. For the purpose intended the analogy works. I am pretty sure you could come up with a better analogy (Data is a car, in true Slashdot style) but watch like not even 5 min later another guy will come up to pick your analogy apart with the most literal of interpretations.
In my special hell I am doomed to take literature classes with a bunch of programmers.

I last used Lalamove to ship some furniture home from IKEA. I'm not entirely sure what the CCP wants to do with this information, but they're welcome to have it.
For a start, your home address, Cc info. Your inside layout of the house - how amenable you are to communist propaganda by looking at the indoors of the house. On the other hand, If you are govt official or person working in defense or research - they could easily bug your house while you are there and get daily briefings. I am not saying lalamove does this - but it is a possibility, think about why US and UK are so…
> think about why US and UK are so hell bent on banning huewei
The UK is not hell-bent on banning Huawei. It had initially approved Huawei hardware, and after banning them, admitted that this was due to geopolitical pressure,[1] which included US threats to reduce intelligence co-operation with the UK.[2] The US president even said that he was responsible for the UK's action.[3]

Please don't frame a political thing as inevitable, unless you want to contribute to it happening or persisting. "I wonder if every country will... how long might that take?" avoids that problem. Yes, I'm quibbling about words. In politics words aren't separate from reality.
I wonder what we can do to prevent a segregated internet?
on small scale, consistently ignore and boycott all attempts by governments to do so. They are not allmighty, they cannot place an armed cop behind every single citicen. If you are in a country that has some functioning democratic institutions, you may also try using them

“Data is the new oil” is used by Reliance, an oil company. It may be you who isn’t thinking deeply enough.
The analogy is bad because oil has a specific geopolitical history. That history was caused, in part, by oil’s nature as an extracted nonperishable commodity. Opining on policy with respect to consumer data, a non-extractive, perishable differentiated good, with reference to oil reserves is misguided. Oil also has a specific national history in India. One that involved the state investing in, protecting and buying through domestic middlemen.
“Data is the new oil” is a different message from e.g. “data is the new gold.” It advocates porting a specific regulatory regime to India’s digital economy. One featuring politically-connected national champions.

Because the US has a trade war with China and tries to rope other countries into it?

I commend your creative thinking, but the flatpacks were left in the garage and the driver never stepped foot inside.
