Why did the Narendra Modi-led government banned 59 Chinese Apps? It has surely affected the chinese technology companies. This is done to safeguard the privacy of 130 crore Indians. Secondly, this way we can promote our homeland businesses in a better way.
The Press release by the Ministry of Information Technology reads that “invoking its power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps since in view of the information available they are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, the security of the state, and public order.”
