Previously we got fake news about Indian Govt banned nearly 52 apps due to India and China clash. Now the fake news has turned official as the Govt of India finally bans Tik Tok & nearly 58 apps from China. This is a major decision taken by the Indian Govt who is facing serious border issues with China.
In the past, China had tried to invade and occupy some of the Indian territories as per various reports and also killed nearly 20 of Indian Soldiers. Now probably Govt of India has taken its final decision to band few of the China origin apps like Share IT, Tik Tok, etc. As per the press release, Govt of India has banned the 59 apps due to security and privacy concerns.
