India bans 54 more Chinese apps over security concerns

Feb. 14: The government on February 14 banned 54 more Chinese apps, taking to 224 the number of such applications that India has banned over the last few years. Some of the apps were also “being hosted out of countries like Hong Kong or Singapore, but the data was ultimately going to servers in Chinese destinations. The government banned 59 Chinese apps first in June 2020, citing sovereignty and integrity of India, defence, security of state and public order as reasons for the ban. More apps were added to the list over the next few months.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has issued interim directions for blocking 54 apps, sources said, adding that these applications were allegedly collecting sensitive user data, which were being misused and transmitted to servers located outside India. It was also cited threat to national security and sovereignty as the reason for the app ban. These applications range from music players to selfie cameras, app locks, notepads, gaming, video chat among others.
