India’s government on Sunday issued an order to ban more than 200 foreign-based apps that offer illegal gambling and loan services, most of which have ties to China, in a move to protect the country’s sovereignty.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology launched the process to ban 138 gambling apps and 94 loan lending apps that allegedly contain materials prejudicial to India’s sovereignty, based on multiple media reports.
