Plot twist in India: the telecom authority just scrapped its controversial mandate requiring phone makers to bundle a state-backed cybersecurity app on all new devices. The reversal came faster than expected, raising questions about the balance between digital security and user autonomy. This move could signal shifting attitudes toward tech regulation in one of crypto's fastest-growing markets.

This move by India is interesting—the government-promoted security app was just scrapped, showing that some people do care about user autonomy. But what does this mean for our crypto community? Is regulation really loosening up?

This move by India is really interesting. Forcing the installation of national apps and then abruptly canceling it—seems like public pressure really works.

India reversed course pretty quickly. I thought it would be stuck for a while... Honestly, this move is a real relief for crypto players—at least we don't have to be forced to install those weird apps anymore.

ngl, this india reversal hits different when you think about trust assumptions tho. state-mandated security apps? that's basically asking users to accept counter-party risk they never signed up for. reminds me of the bridges that promised "audited safety" right before the exploit postmortems dropped... except with your entire device at stake.

India’s actions this time are really unbelievable—ban it one moment, lift it the next… Honestly, this whole thing was a joke from the start. It’s something the government forced on people; who the hell would even want it?

This reversal in India shows that regulators are beginning to understand that forced bundling just doesn’t work. User autonomy trumps everything—this has long been common sense in the Web3 world. It’ll be interesting to see whether this will influence regulatory approaches in other emerging markets...
