The Government of India bans 59 Chinese Apps including Tiktok, UC Browser and Club Factory. The government stated that these apps were “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.”
Time and now, the backlash from Indian authorities against Chinese apps was an ongoing heated topic. But the move came into force during the recent Indo-China Clash. It escalated when the Chinese troops killed Indian soldiers in the current stand-off along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh. These apps are now seen as a threat with the rising concerns over Chinese Cyber Espionages.
As most of these apps work online, the officials are informing each and every Indian internet service providers (ISPs) and telecom service providers (TSPs) to block all the data that is being transferred to and coming from these apps.
According to Section 69A of the Information and Technology Act, the Ministry issued the statement, “There have been raging concerns on aspects relating to data security and safeguarding the privacy of 130 crore Indians. It has been noted recently that such concerns also pose a threat to sovereignty and security of our country. The Ministry of Information Technology has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India. The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures.”
India Bans 59 Chinese Apps including TikTok to make them non-functional in India by default. If you already have these apps in your phone, you won’t be able to access them. In addition, banning of this apps, implies that they would not receive any developer support in India.
