The Indian government has blocked more than 300 mobile apps. According to the PTI report, the Indian government has identified 348 mobile apps made in different countries of the world including China for allegedly collecting user details for profiling citizens and sending them abroad in an unauthorized manner which is blocked. This information was given by the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajiv Chandrashekhar in the Lok Sabha in reply to a question by Rodmal Nagar of the BJP.
Data was being transported outside the country
"These 348 mobile applications were collecting user information and accessing it to servers located outside the country for unauthorized profiling," Chandrashekhar said.
He said, "Based on the request of the MHA, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has blocked those 348 mobile applications as such data transmission violates the sovereignty and integrity of India, the defense of India, and the security of the state." Huh."
Some apps made in China
When asked whether all these apps are developed by China, Chandrashekhar said, "These apps are developed by different countries including China."
BGMI has been removed from the play store just a few days ago
The government's decision comes days after South Korean gaming giant Crafton removed a popular battle royale game, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), from the Play Store. Google had said that it has received an order from the government in this regard and has thus blocked access to the app.
In September 2020, Krafton's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) was blocked along with 117 other China-linked apps, citing data security concerns.
Earlier in the year, it was also reported that the battle royale game Free Fire along with 53 other China-related apps were banned under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act on February 14, citing security concerns.
