#Pubg ban in india free
The surprising part though is that some other games licensed to Tencent like Garena: Free Fire and COD Mobile have not been banned among the 118 apps. This decision is a targeted move to ensure safety, security, and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace.” This move will safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users. The press release reads as follows – “In the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India and security of the State and using the sovereign powers, the Government of India has decided to block the usage of certain Apps, used in both mobile and non-mobile Internet-enabled devices. The press release states that the ban has been put in place under Section 69A of the IT Act as these 118 apps including PUBG Mobile was found to be misusing user data in an unauthorized manner. However, looks like the changes were not sufficient for the Government of India to look past the privacy concerns. While the game was under scrutiny due to the fact that the developer was Chinese, it managed to escape the initial ban with some changes to its privacy policy. However, today, through a press release from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Government of India has further banned 118 Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile.įor context, PUBG Mobile is operated by Tencent which is one of the leading game developers based in China. and while the Indian youth was disappointed with banning TikTok mainly, the majority of the population was happy that their favorite game, PUBG Mobile, was spared from the list of the 59 banned Chinese apps.
The Government of India had recently banned about 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, CamScanner, Shareit, etc.
