59 Chinese Apps Including Tiktok Ban In India

The government of India banned 59 Chinese mobile apps, including social media platform apps including Helo, TikTok, and WeChat. The step was taken to counter the threat posed by these applications to the country’s “sovereignty and security,”

UC browser, ShareIT, and shopping app Clubfactory are among the other prominent apps that have been blocked following clashes at the border of India and China two weeks ago.

The ban has been imposed under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with relevant provisions of the Information Technology Rules 2009. The government also cited complaints about data on Indian users being transferred abroad without authorization.

“These apps have been there for a long time, and there are some privacy and security issues with them including risks of data going out of the country,” said the spokesperson.
