What do you mean "even India" has banned it? India is notorious for its censorship and is rated near the bottom of the World Press Freedom Index. Being in that company is absolutely not something the US should aspire to.

That's not the point. It's in the interest of a country to not let it's data be sucked by a foreign government. And India took the bold but right decision early on.
