Two travel companies MakeMyTrip and Goibibo are under fire for data privacy concerns of the users. The hashtags #BoycottMakeMyTrip #BoycottGoibibo have been trending on X (formerly known as Twitter). Numerous users have been tweeting and urging everyone to delete the apps of these companies. This came to light after the news spread about these apps being mainly owned by Chinese investors. Since then, users have been voicing their concerns over data privacy issues.
A user on X wrote, “Users are urged to prioritise their data security by boycotting MakeMyTrip and uninstalling GoIbibo amid growing concerns over privacy breaches,” wrote one X user. Another user said, “They’re committing fraud with their users, which is not acceptable. Let’s raise our voices against it.”
A user even shared a meme on this topic with the caption, “Chinese apps stealing data of Indians. Me to MakeMyTrip & Goibibo: #Boycott_MakeMyTrip Uninstall Goibibo”
