India: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 23:32, by: Staff Reporters

India has banned a total of 59 apps that had a Chinese origin given the stand off between both the nation.

Given the rising border tensions between India and China, the Ministry of Information and Technology has banned 59 Chinese apps out of which the most prominent one is obviously TikTok. The famous video sharing app has a total of 119 million in our country. Thus, these apps were banned for being harmful to Indian society. The government expressed that these apps disregarded the security of users and therefore told Apple and Google to get rid of all 59 apps along with the help of ISPs and telecom companies.

These apps have been removed from the Play Store and App Store. However, they are working just fine if already installed in an electronic device. If removed, users wont be able to download them again.

 “Invoking it's [sic] power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps since in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.” the government said in a statement.
