India requires caller ID and call-management apps to share users' spam reports with telcos; Truecaller calls it a "one-way exchange" that is "anti-competitive" (Jagmeet Singh/TechCrunch)

Truecaller argues the requirement creates a one-way data flow that disadvantages competitors and is anti-competitive.
