The Indian government's decision to block TikTok, along with 59 other Chinese apps, was grounded in concerns regarding national security. This move marked the beginning of a series of app bans, totaling over 300, including popular ones like WeChat, Shareit, Helo, and Likee, among others. The rationale behind these bans stemmed from violations of Section 69 of the IT Act and the presence of content deemed detrimental to India's sovereignty and integrity.
