How will the government order apply?
Will those who already have mobile apps be able to use them?
How will the access to the application stop?
- Companies that provide Internet networks to users. Such as Airtel, Jio, BSNL etc. They give users an internet network in two ways. Through a mobile network. Secondly through broadband connection.
- Internet service providers (ISPs) do the work of handing over the networks of these companies to the users. Through these, the data of the whole world comes. That is, whatever data will come to India from any country of the world, it will come only through ISP. Similarly, the data that goes abroad from India will also go through ISP.
- Internet companies just have to apply a filter to ban any website or app following the government's instruction. After that, users are not able to access any data on it.
What kind of privacy were Chinese apps breaking?
- China apps were insecure. Because when you install an app, you are approved that it can access your photos, videos, messages, files, data. What he does with your data after that depends on the company.
- Some institutions ask for permission that they can use your data, some institutions do not take permission to use it. But many companies steal data even without permission.
