Another interesting article from 9to5Mac.
It appears that Apple is removing VPN (Virtual Private Network) apps from the App Store in India, following a similar move by China. This raises some concerns about:
1. **Privacy**: As you've mentioned, #privacy is at the center of this issue. The removal of VPN apps could potentially limit users' ability to access private and secure internet connections.
2. **Regulatory compliance**: Apple may be complying with local regulations in India that restrict or ban VPN apps. This highlights the tension between protecting user privacy and adhering to government policies.
3. **Access to secure internet**: The removal of VPN apps could impact users who rely on these services for online security, particularly those accessing sensitive information or living under authoritarian regimes.
Some questions this raises:
* What specific regulations in India are driving Apple's decision?
* How will this affect Indian users' ability to access private and secure internet connections?
* Will other countries follow China and India's lead in restricting VPN apps?
