china apps banned in india 2020

The Indian government has banned 59 Chinese apps that include some of the most prominent names such as TikTok, UC Browser, likee, and ShareIt. The decision has taken amidst a massive backlash against China following the June 15 face-off at Ladakh in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred.

Inputs from intelligence authorities have indicated that these Chinese apps have been used as either spyware or malware and are in clear violation of the terms of usage, compromising a user’s privacy. The ban has been imposed under Section 69A of the IT Act with relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009
