India bans MasterCard from adding new customers
The obsession with where data physically sits at rest is so amusing to me. Not limited to overzealous governments and financial data; healthcare is singularly obsessed with this. It makes no sense whatsoever, of course. I&#x27;d much rather store properly encrypted personal information or financial data in North Korea than storing it unencrypted in my home country.<p>I would understand if they demanded both storage and processing be done in India. Then it&#x27;s just about control, and the ability to sever MC&#x27;s India operations from the mother ship in case things go <i>really</i> sour and the US tries to cut India off from the global financial system or something. But since it&#x27;s just about data at rest, it&#x27;s nonsensical.<p>Or am I missing something?
