The push comes as India seeks greater regulatory control over global tech companies. The initiative would require manufacturers to include the government’s GOV.in app store and related apps like BHIM, DigiLocker, VoterID on smartphones sold from India.
Beyond pre-installation, they also requested that their apps be available for download outside the company’s app stores from third-party sources without triggering “untrusted source” warnings.
See what you started EU
The EU does not mandate that Apple preinstall government apps. Stop lying.
The EU went the other way and mandated that more apps should be uninstallable.

Every government tells every phone maker what to do with phones. You can’t, for example, have them using restricted frequencies. Funny that you think you have a gotcha there.
Trying to equate mandating that the user can uninstall apps if they want (a massive win for the consumer and good for competition) to mandatory installation of government ID apps is hilariously pathetic.

Saying someone is lying and telling someone to “fuck off” are not the same, one breaks rule 3 and the other does not.
You’re a liar.
Sorry you feel that way!
Would you then please explain how calling someone a liar is “Be[ing] excellent to each another!” ?
You say it’s different to telling someone who called you a liar to “fuck off”, under rule 3 but in either case it’s not being very excellent to “each another” now, is it.
Also I’d like to note that “rule 3” is misquoted.
And what apps are EU forcing to pre-install?

lol yeah the EU mandates that users can delete more core pre-installed apps. It’s literally the opposite
Fucking propaganda. It seriously enrages me how people like you have become so programmed that they’ll attribute everything to an organization you’ve been told to hate. Don’t you ever stop and see how you’re being used?
