After India, the US lawmakers have now asked the Lina Khan-led Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to address abusive and deceptive data practices by hundreds of companies providing Virtual Private Network (VPN) services for individuals.
Indian users, however, will still be able to "connect to VPN servers that will give them Indian IP addresses" through virtual servers that are located in Singapore and the UK.
Some VPN providers are leaving India while others are considering doing so ahead of new rules that the government says are aimed at improving cybersecurity
The government has mandated cloud service providers, VPN (Virtual Private Network) firms, data centre companies and virtual private server providers to store users' data for at least five years.
