54 Chinese Applications Banned in India

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has banned these applications under section 69A of the IT Act, 2000 in India. As per the law, Section 69A will provide access for the Indian government to ban any service that differs from the “sovereignty and integrity” of India. The government has stated that these applications pose a threat to the country due to the data that these applications collect with the permission of Indian smartphone users. 

The government has revealed that these 54 newly banned applications have collected sensitive data from smartphone users in India by misusing the permissions obtained. Furthermore, these applications have carried out Espionage and Surveillance activities. As per the government’s statement, these applications have conducted malicious activities by accessing the camera, mic, and GPS signals.
