India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) has banned another 118 mobile apps including the popular gaming app PUBG citing them as prejudicial to the sovereignty, integrity and defense of the nation.
The banned apps include Baidu, Baidu Express Edition, Tencent Watchlist, FaceU, WeChat Reading and Tencent Weiyun, besides PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite, according to an official statement.
Government Blocks 118 Mobile Apps which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.#PUBG MOBILE among 118 additional Apps banned by the Government
Earlier on June 29, the Indian government had banned a number of Chinese apps, including TikTok and UC Browser.
Reports suggest that India’s IT Ministry has written to all these companies, warning that continued availability and operation of these banned apps, directly or indirectly, is not only illegal but also an offense under the Indian Information Technology Act and other applicable Acts, which would attract penal provisions.
The statement said that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about the misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India. The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defense of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern that requires emergency measures.
