The Indian government is angry with China over its recent surprise attack in the Galwan Valley. In the last few days, the people of India have demanded a boycott of Chinese products as well as Chinese technology and Chinese apps. This time the Indian government gave priority to that demand.
The central government has banned 59 popular apps in India, including TickTock and WeChat. Intelligence agencies have accused these apps of violating the terms of use, compromising user privacy and being used as spyware or malware. The government has since decided to ban the apps.
The government has banned apps under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act. The government has exercised its powers under the 2009 rules. According to a government source, the apps have been violating the country’s security and privacy policy for a long time. As a result, there was a risk of various information smuggling in the country. That is why action has been taken even though it is late.
Among the popular apps on the list There are:
Many apps like TickTock, ShareIt, WeChat, UC Browser, Like, Clash of King, Virus Cleaner, Weibo.
