HI FRIENDS,

TikTok has been banned by the Government, along with 58 more apps including Shareit, UC Browser, WeChat, and others.

The common factor to these various apps?

They’re all made by Chinese companies.

The government in its notice stated that these apps are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state, and public order.

The entire list of 59 apps was included as an Annexure and it includes everything from chat apps, to tools such as ES File Explorer, to games.

It’s hard to understand why these specific apps were chosen.
