Govt bans 54 Chinese apps over security threat concerns

The Indian government will ban 54 Chinese apps that pose a threat to India’s security.

The Federal Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said it had received a request from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to block 54 applications under the emergency provisions envisaged by Section 69(A) of the IT Act.

Banned apps include Beauty Camera: Sweet Selfie HD, Beauty Camera – Selfie Camera, Equalizer & Bass Booster, CamCard for SalesForce Ent, Island 2: Ashes of Time Lite, Viva Video Editor, Tencent Xriver, Onmyoji Chess, Onmyoji Arena, AppLock and Dual Space Lite.

The center blocked 59 apps on June 29, 2020, followed by 47 related/clone apps on August 10, 2020. Since then, 118 apps were blocked on September 1, 2020, and another 43 apps were blocked on November 19, the same year.

The 54 apps allegedly obtained various key permissions and collected sensitive user data, the ministry said. “This collected real-time data is misused and transmitted to servers located in hostile countries. This will allow them to compile vast amounts of personal data for mining, sorting, analysis and characterization of elements hostile to India’s sovereignty and integrity and activities that endanger national security. ,” the IT ministry said in a statement.

“Furthermore, there are other serious issues as some of these apps can conduct spying and surveillance activities via camera/microphone, access precise location (GPS) and conduct malicious cyber activities similar to previously blocked apps. It is alleged that , these apps engage in activities that are detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of the country and also pose a serious threat to the national security and defence of India,” it added.

The latest move could be an example of tensions between the two neighbours mired in a protracted border dispute affecting business deals.

In addition to starring in several films in the 1990s with Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Roy, and Aamir Khan, Deepak also portrayed the lead in Pehla Nasha. The actor revealed that there was a scene in the Ashuotsh Gowariker-directed movie when Saif, Rahul Roy, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan made cameo appearances.

According to Deepak Tijori, Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie.

When asked if Bollywood performers were friendly at parties but did not promote one other’s films, he responded, “Yeah, I guess I could probably tell you a personal experience.” I am referring about 1993 here. We were working on a movie named Pehla Nasha back in 1993. Surprisingly, there was a moment in the movie when everyone wants celebrities to attend a character’s debut. We had buddies, and the director was Ashutosh Gowariker. Therefore, I was taken aback when this particular occurrence occurred.”

I’m going to be involved with Deepak’s debut. “Really?” was her question. In what way is this possible? You know, we never did all these things. Who takes this action? similar to when you go and help someone on a premiere. That was a moment, then, and I was shocked by it. Evidently, something didn’t truly exist back then (days).
