These are just excuses to convince yourself that what the US is doing is "not bad" but what India is doing is "terrible".
Both are doing similar things. You have no idea what the US is doing; I have some inkling, and it is terrible.
At least India is publicly disclosing what this app does, and that the phone has this app. Do you have any idea what the US does?
Hint: that big data center in Utah, what is it for?
Another hint: the US has given many billions of dollars to US telecom companies under the guise of "rural broadband" and "rural cell service". Has the state of rural service really changed much in the last 30 years?? Why has all that money been given, then?
Did you mean to reply to someone else?
No one is claiming the US government is doing less terrible things than the Indian government.
