    Excellent idea! This should extend to the legislative & judiciary branch!

  4. #China #FileSharing #ShareIt: "According to ShareIt, in 2016, it had 600 million users globally — including 150 million in India, its largest market. ShareIt executives discovered the biggest source of its growth in the country: Local phone shops had started selling and transferring new apps to customers to make a quick buck. By 2019, ShareIt had racked up over 400 million downloads in India. It was so dependent on this market that it fashioned itself as an “Indian company,” even though it was Chinese-founded, said Jason Wong, ShareIt’s managing director for India, to a local publication that year. “If we lose the India market, we need to shut our business down.”

    ShareIt did lose the India market — it was banned in the country in June 2020, alongside 58 other apps of Chinese origin. But instead of shutting down, the company recovered by shifting its focus to Southeast Asia. ShareIt claims it has reached 2.4 billion downloads globally, with 20 million monthly active users in South Africa and 40 million in the Philippines. It also claims to have millions of users in Indonesia, though it didn’t share exact figures."
