PUBG MOBILE and other 274 apps could be banned soon in India
Since Pubg mobile has a big player base in India and this could be very bad news for them.
PUBG Mobile is again on the government's radar after receiving allowances by army personnel earlier this year. The 59 Chinese app was recently banned and decided due to security and privacy concerns amid growing tensions over LAC between India and China.
According to the Economic Times report, 275 Chinese apps are being investigated for "any violation of national security and user privacy, which is likely to be banned in the country by Chinese Internet companies over heightened scrutiny and signaling".
China's controversial data-sharing criteria under which Chinese companies are required to share data with the government cite immediate concerns about user privacy and data usage for India. This may be the major cause of recent restrictions and more future waves.
ET also shared that their sources referred to the ongoing review process for more apps and that "some of these apps were flagged for security reasons while others were listed for data sharing and privacy concerns violations have gone."
The apps mentioned in the report include PUBG Mobile, possibly the most well-known mobile game in India, and 14 Mi apps by AliExpress, Resso, Ulike, Xiaomi, and a list such as Supercell, which has no connection to China.
Tencent, which is a stakeholder in this company.
PUBG Mobile and its associated esports scene are growing and such a decision could harm the player-base and the related esports industry. The sanctions have not yet been confirmed, but the upheaval it causes is evident.
