India’s war on China apps will have network effect, says ugalani:
India on June 29 announced it would ban 59, mostly Chinese, apps in “a targeted move to ensure the safety and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace.”
The technology ministry said the apps listed, including ByteDance’s TikTok, WeChat, and others owned by Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu and Xiaomi “engaged in activities prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order”. The move comes after a deadly border clash between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in a disputed Himalayan region earlier this month that resulted in the death of 20 Indian soldiers.
