    Indian accent: “Alright mam, when you install this app, I will contact you tomorrow and we can proceed with the transfer. For security reasons, don’t tell anyone you received this call.”

      Right, the real solution is not letting old people answer phone calls anymore, I guess, lol.

        There are scammer call centers in many countries throughout the world. So unless you want to start shutting off a lot of developing nations from the internet, that’s not a good solution.

        It’s also not a good solution because there will always be a workaround.

          I basically never watch Youtube, its kind of cancer and Google is a spyware company.

          And this isn’t about race, its about a country cleaning up its own act. I feel basically the same way about Russia, for example. There isn’t an online servixe or system that sould not drasticly improve if Russians were blocked from the larger web. Its basically a factory for misinformation and assholes.

            Yes, there are many problematic states, probably all of them. That’s why people thought it was sus when you singled out india.

            My advice: Download a geo-IP database and firewall yourself in.
