New delhi date. 2 July 2020, Thursday

The central government's high-level committee has also upheld the decision to ban 59 Chinese apps. Apart from the officials and representatives from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Law, Ministry of Electronics and IT, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the committee also includes representatives from CERT-In (Computer Emergency Response Team).

The central government's committee has also sealed the decision to ban 59 Chinese apps. In view of the data sharing practices of these apps, the IT and Electronic Secretary decided to ban them by exercising his emergency right. The government committee in its meeting on Wednesday also considered the decision appropriate.

Chinese apps have been temporarily banned. Representatives of these Chinese apps will now have a chance to present their case to the committee before a final decision is made. It is learned that the representatives of these companies may present their case before the committee within a week.

The Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps late Monday night. These applications were considered a threat to national security. The most popular app that has been banned is TickTock. However, according to Tiktok, it does not share data with any country.

Now the effects of the ban are beginning to show. According to China's government spokesman Global Times, banning global applications such as TikTok and ShareIt will affect not only these companies but also the thousands of Indian IT workers working for these companies. Baitdance, Tiktok's parent company, could lose 6 billion.
