India has now banned more than 200 mostly Chinese mobile apps, citing the apps’ collection of user data as a national security risk.
India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology issued the latest ban on Sept. 2, identifying a total of 118 mobile apps, according to a government press release. It’s the third list of banned apps issued since June.
