Last week, the Government of India banned 59 Chinese apps in India due to privacy and security concerns. Now the government is asking Army personnel to delete 89 apps, including Facebook, Instagram, and many more popular apps before July 15.
This strict rule has been placed to prevent sensitive information from leaking by these popular social media platforms, also due to the privacy and security concerns. The 89 apps that are to be uninstalled by the Army Personnel include the 59 apps which were banned last week.
The Army always had a strict rule of limited use of social media platforms. Still, the present directive covers a much more comprehensive range of apps including messaging platforms, video hosting, content sharing apps and a lot more.
