Indian govt orders to block 119 apps from Google Play
Hi Readers,
The Indian government has ordered the blocking of 119 apps on the Google Play Store, with the majority of these apps originating from China and Hong Kong. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued the blocking orders under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, which allows the government to block public access to online content for reasons of national security, sovereignty, or public order1. So far, only 15 of the 119 apps have been taken down, while the rest remain accessible. Some of the affected apps also come from Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia1. Developers of the blocked apps have expressed their willingness to work with the Indian government to resolve the issue.
