Indian government bans 43 more Chinese mobile apps [full list]

For the past several months, the Indian government has been on a spree banning mobile apps, particularly the ones of Chinese origin. Now, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has blocked another set of 43 mobile applications in the country.

In July, the government had blocked 106 apps and in September, it banned 118 more apps including the popular TikTok, PUBG Mobile in India.

Like the previous times, the union government has cited section 69A of the Information Technology Act to block the 43 apps. It has taken action based on security reports from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center, Ministry of Home Affairs. It has ordered for blocking the access of these apps in India, as they were found engaging in activities prejudicial to India’s sovereignty, integrity, defence, security & public order.
