Discussion Ban on Chinese apps in India

The Indian government should not believe in claims by TikTok that data would be stored locally on Indian servers. Does anyone believe anything the Chinese say these days? Once the storm calms down, all data will be transferred from India to China in the most secured way possible at a later date. My frustration is not a single Indian company is competent enough to develop an alternative? So India only has incompetent programmers while cream of the crop are exported to US and EU just like Alphonso mangoes?
r/tiktokthots on Reddit on the other hand...... hehe

But what will they do with common man data? All other apps also collects data.

TikTok Chief Executive Kevin Mayer in a video townhall to employees in India that the short-video platform has encountered an unfortunate challenge in the country, and is working with stakeholders to address their concerns.
His comments come after the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps, citing data privacy security concerns. ByteDance, which owns TikTok and regional social media platform Helo, counts India as its largest market outside China. TikTok has 200 million users in India.

I miss CamScanner. One good app among the list
Most likely all the apps will return back after some weeks/months of ban.

Apart from the 2 others mentioned in the thread already - Microsoft Lens, Adobe Scan - this one is good apparently: Scan It

Made in India.

On a side-note, I read this on the Internet: "You attack our Map, We attack your App"
