Another spat between India's government and U.S. big tech<\/a> has exacerbated disillusion among firms which have spent billions to build hubs in their largest growth market, to the extent some are rethinking expansion plans, people close to the matter said. Twitter加入同胞Amazon.com Inc ., Facebook Inc .和Facebook-owned WhatsApp在长期不和,莫迪政府总理在数据隐私账单和一些高管称贸易保护主义政策,但在最近几周紧张关系升级。 另一个印度政府和美国大型科技股幻想破灭加剧了公司花了数十亿美元建造中心最大的增长市场,在某种程度上有些反思扩张计划,知情人士说。 Another spat between India's government and U.S. big tech<\/a> has exacerbated disillusion among firms which have spent billions to build hubs in their largest growth market, to the extent some are rethinking expansion plans, people close to the matter said.
The government on Saturday said Twitter<\/a> Inc had not indicated compliance with new rules aimed at making social media firms more accountable to legal requests, and therefore risked losing liability exemptions for content posted on its platform.
Twitter<\/a> joins compatriots Amazon<\/a>.com Inc, Facebook Inc<\/a> and Facebook-owned WhatsApp<\/a> in long being at loggerheads with the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over data privacy bills and policies some executives have called protectionist, but tension has escalated in recent weeks.
Police visited Twitter last month to notify it of a probe into the tagging of a political tweet as \"manipulated media\", and in February interrogated an Amazon<\/a> official about the potentially adverse social impact of a political drama. Meanwhile, WhatsApp<\/a> is challenging the government in court over rules it said would force it to access encrypted data.
\"The fear is there,\" said a senior tech industry executive in India. \"It weighs both strategically and operationally.\"
There are no indications the increasing run-ins have led to the delay or cancellation of planned investment.
Still, three senior executives familiar with the thinking of major U.S. tech firms said perceptions of India being an alternative, more accessible growth market to China are changing, and that longstanding plans for India's role in their operations are being reviewed.
\"There always used to be these discussions to make India a hub, but that is being thought through now,\" said one of the executives, who works at a U.S. tech firm. \"This feeling is across the board.\"
Four other executives and advisors also expressed concern about rising tension. All declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter and because discussions were private.

Twitter, Amazon, Facebook<\/a>, WhatsApp and India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology did not respond to requests for comment.
MISINFORMATION<\/strong>
The government has argued that its rules are needed to stem the spread of misinformation that can spark violence - such as in 2017 when kidnapping rumours shared on message apps including WhatsApp led to lynching. It also said the rules are necessary to hold large technology companies accountable for practices that hurt domestic businesses or compromise customer privacy.
India is a massive market for U.S. tech giants. It is the biggest market for both Facebook and WhatsApp by user numbers, showed data from Statista, and third for Twitter. Amazon has committed as much as $6.5 billion to invest in the country.
To attract small businesses through WhatsApp, Facebook last year invested $5.7 billion in Reliance Industries Ltd's media and telecommunications arm, Jio Platforms<\/a>.
Alphabet Inc<\/a>'s Google also pumped $4.5 billion into Jio last year from a newly created $10 billion fund earmarked for investment in India over five to seven years.
COMPLIANCE<\/strong>
The government has tried to balance attracting high-tech investment with nationalist policies aimed at protecting local businesses and, critics say, advancing its political agenda.
A border confrontation with China prompted it to effectively ban Chinese social media apps, including TikTok and WeChat.
The government has also forced foreign firms to store data locally against fierce lobbying, and its promotion of a domestic payment card network prompted Mastercard Inc to complain to the U.S. government about the use of nationalism.
In 2019, compliance issues with new regulations saw Amazon remove thousands of products from its e-commerce platform. The e-tailer is separately facing scrutiny by the Competition Commission of India for its retailing practices.
Twitter publicly refused to comply with some government demands to remove content, a stance which some industry executives said may have aggravated its current situation.
WhatsApp has gone to court rather than comply with a new law requiring social media firms to trace the origin of dangerous or criminal posts on their platforms. The message app operator said it cannot comply without breaking encryption, while observers said yielding could prompt similar demands in other countries.
At the same time, WhatsApp has faced regulatory delays that have limited its payment service to just 4% of its 500 million customers. Nevertheless, it is pressing ahead with hiring for a service it has called a \"globally significant\" opportunity.
Government officials have shown little patience for objections. IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said any robust democracy must have accountability mechanisms, such as the ability to identify the originator of messages.
\"A private company sitting in America should refrain from lecturing us on democracy when you are denying your users the right to effective redressal forum,\" Prasad said in an interview with the Hindu newspaper published on Sunday.
Still, continued antagonism could imperil Modi's ambition of making India a go-to investment destination.
\"It's a question of what you would develop in a three-to-five-year horizon,\" said another executive familiar with the thinking of U.S. firms. \"Do you do that in India or do you do that in another country. That's where the conversation is.\"

频繁的与印度政府云美国科技扩张计划
政府周六说推特公司没有表示遵守新规定旨在让社会媒体公司更加负责法律请求,因此冒着失去责任豁免的内容发布平台。

说:“令人担忧的是,在印度科技行业高管。“这重战略和运营。”
没有迹象显示增加的口角导致延迟或取消计划投资。
不过,三名高级主管熟悉美国主要的思维科技公司表示对印度的看法作为替代,更容易对中国增长的市场正在发生变化,这对印度的长期计划在其业务中所扮演的角色被审查。
“总是有这些讨论印度的中心,但正在考虑现在,”说的高管之一,美国科技公司工作。“这种感觉。”
其他四名高管和顾问也日益紧张的局势表示担忧。所有由于的敏感性拒绝透露姓名,因为讨论私人问题。
Twitter,亚马逊,脸谱网、WhatsApp和印度的电子和信息技术没有回应记者的置评请求。
错误信息
政府认为它的规则是需要阻止错误信息的传播,可以引发暴力事件,如2017年绑架谣言共享消息的应用程序包括WhatsApp导致私刑。它还说,规则是必要举行大型技术公司负责实践损害国内企业或妥协的客户隐私。
印度是一个庞大的市场对美国科技巨头。它是最大的市场,Facebook和WhatsApp用户数量,从Statista显示数据,,是推特的第三天。亚马逊已承诺投资高达65亿美元。

政府已经试图平衡吸引高科技投资与民族主义政策旨在保护当地企业,批评人士说,推进其政治议程。
与中国的边境冲突促使它有效地禁止中国的社交媒体应用程序,包括TikTok和微信。
政府也迫使外国公司对激烈的游说,在本地存储数据及其促进国内支付卡网络促使万事达卡(ma . n:行情)向美国政府抱怨的民族主义。
早在2019年,亚马逊的新法规遵从性问题看到把成千上万的产品从其电子商务平台。网络是单独面对印度的零售业竞争委员会的审查实践。
推特公开拒绝遵守一些政府要求删除内容,一些业内高管表示立场可能加剧其现状。
WhatsApp去了法院,而不是遵守新的法律要求社交媒体公司跟踪危险或犯罪的起源的帖子在他们的平台上。消息应用算子表示,不能服从而不破坏加密,同时观察人士表示,收益率可能促使其他国家的类似要求。
同时,WhatsApp面临监管延迟支付服务有限只有4%的5亿客户。然而,推进招聘服务称为“全球重大”的机会。
政府官员已经表明反对缺乏耐心。部长Ravi Shankar Prasad说任何强大的民主必须问责机制,如确定消息的发起者的能力。
“私人公司在美国应该避免说教我们坐在民主当你拒绝用户的权利有效调整论坛,”普拉萨德表示,印度报纸采访时发表在周日。乐动扑克

“这是一个问题,你会在三层开发,”另一位高管说熟悉美国公司的想法。“你在印度还是在另一个国家。这就是对话。”
