Many popular apps like Shareit, Helo, Shein, Likee, WeChat, UC Browser also figured among the list of the banned Chinese apps. The decision, aimed at "safeguarding" the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users, is a targeted move to ensure the safety and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace, the Ministry of Electronics, and Information Technology said in the official notification.

The only one of those "popular apps" I've heard of is TikTok.

The pentagon has already banned TikTok from all electronic devices they own and I believe the DOJ and other departments are implementing similar regulations.

If the FCC can ban TIkTok, they should go ahead and do it

If not, Congress needs to act and implement legislation banning them.

If we had a digitally competent congress we wouldn't need to do the same. Many of the unethical practices they use should be illegal, but the blue hairs can't even grasp what these companies do.

We should. China shouldn't be near any american cellphone. Though China would probably be focused on a government employee using the app or something like that.

And there's a damn good reason why. If you are using tik tok, or allowing your kids to, you're an idiot.

Why, when you can gather much more information about them off their kids?
