India Government bans 59 Chinese android apps including WeChat, Helo, Tiktok and UC Browser

The Indian government has blocked 59 China android apps from play store including high-tech forums such as TikTok, Helo and WeChat, to address the threat of such requests to the "sovereignty and security" of the country, a statement released by the media yesterday morning. ShareAIT, a UC browser and the app store Clubfactory are among the other popular apps that were blocked amid tensions between India and China following a border dispute over the past two weeks.

The government said the requests were made on activities that were "prejudiced against India's sovereignty and integrity, protecting India, government security and public order." This restriction is incorporated under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for the Prevention of Access to Information by Public) Regulations 2009. The government has also raised complaints about Indian users' data being exported without permission.

Travel can affect China's Digital Silk Route aspirations, creating a corporate look. It could also lead to more countries following India's deception and acting contrary to these plans,

A senior official said the government had considered all the parties before making a decision. "These applications have been around for a long time, and there are some privacy and security issues that also involve risks of data outage in the country," the person said.

A statement from the Department of Electronics and IT (MeitY) said it had received complaints from various sources, including several reports of abuse of other mobile apps for stealing and sending unauthorized user information to servers outside India.
