China and India Tighten Data Privacy Rules

China and India are both making new rules to protect people's data.

China wants apps to ask for permission before collecting data and to keep data safe, especially for kids.

They also want to limit when apps can use the camera or microphone.

India wants smartphone companies to share their secret code with the government and make changes to their software.

This includes letting people uninstall pre-installed apps and stopping apps from using the camera or microphone in the background.

Tech companies like Apple and Samsung are worried because they think these rules are too strict and have no precedent in other countries.

Both countries are doing this to make sure people's data is safe and to prevent bad things from happening online.
