China’s Privacy Purge: Cracking Down on Data Snoops While Indonesia Welcomes iPhone 16
China is tightening the screws on apps that collect personal data, but government surveillance gets a free pass. Meanwhile, Indonesia has lifted its iPhone 16 ban after securing an Apple R&D facility. In Japan, chip assemblers are teaming up, and Japan Airlines is getting tech-savvy with AI-assisted flight reports.
Hot Take:
China’s got 99 problems, but a privacy breach ain’t one! With the Great Wall of Privacy being built around their citizens’ data, they might just have the last laugh in the global data protection game—assuming they’re not too busy monitoring their citizens to notice, of course.
Key Points:
- China cracks down on inappropriate use of personal data, focusing on apps, smart devices, and facial recognition.
- Indonesia lifts its ban on the iPhone 16 following Apple’s commitment to build an R&D facility there.
- Japanese semiconductor companies join forces to stay competitive in the global market.
- Japan Airlines uses Microsoft’s language model to streamline flight report writing.
- India’s space agency boosts rocket payload capacity with new engine design.
