TikTok, UC Browser, SHAREit: Full List Of 59 Banned Chinese-Owned Apps

New Delhi:

The government today banned 59 Chinese-owned applications, including TikTok, ShareIt, UC Browser, and WeChat. The IT Ministry stated they were "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order."

The move came in the backdrop of the ongoing face-off along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh with Chinese troops.

Many popular apps like TikTok and others have been blocked by the Ministry of Information Technology by invoking Section 69A of the Information Technology Act.

"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."
