India bans 59 Chinese apps including TikTok after border clash

The move also comes amid a countrywide call from traders and civil society to boycott China-origin products and services after the border clash.
The ministry however in a statement said the apps have been blocked "in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order."
It further claimed that country’s top cyber crime agency had also recommended ban on apps as they were allegedly posting threat to security of data.
"The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures. At the same time, there have been raging concerns on aspects relating to data security and safeguarding the privacy of 130 crore Indians," said the release.
