Two days before, in an expected turn of events, the government of India imposed an app ban on 59 apps developed by Chinese companies. This includes many famous apps like TikTok, Shareit, UC Browser, We Chat, Shein. The step was taken just a day before the round three of talks between the military commanders of the two countries regarding the border stand-off. p
This move against these harmful, malicious apps was taken by the government after several complaints regarding issues like data stealing, and privacy breaching were made. This data was invariably transferred to sources outside of India and could be used with an ill intent to harm the users.
The step will also be in line with the “Vocal For Local” and “Made in India” initiatives launched by the Government. The step will also help in accelerating the growth of many local, home grown brands in every sphere including clothing, entertainment and even social media.
