Youtube vs Tick Tock

Some time ago the well-known youtube vs tick tock controversy took place in Indian reason. the reason behind this as the content available on the Chinese app. the content was not monitored by the app neither they were following any guidelines provided by the government of India and the Google privacy policy. 

this controversy has gained a lot of popularity because the famous Indian Youtuber and a well-known roster and also a popular social media personality Carry Minati had roasted the platform and the content in this app. he targeted another social media star, a so-called ticktocker Amir Sidiqi. and after few days youtube has taken down his video for violating youtube's policy. This was the incident where it all started. 

53 Chinese mobile Apps banned by the Indian Government.

Indian intelligence agencies have asked the government to block and advise people to stop the use of 53 mobile applications linked to China over concerns that these weren’t safe and ended up extracting a large amount of data outside India, people familiar with the development

These apps are taking the data of the user without their concern and sending them to China. This is clearly a violation of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) policy which was given by the European Union in the year 2016.

The popularity has also made these apps the center of criticism and skepticism from authorities and the general public. 

How does it work?

These apps generally take the permission that they don require. this kind of activity makes them suspicious and now red-flagged by Indian intelligence agencies

for eg. a file-sharing app takes the permission of using location. and also a simple news-reading app takes permission to access your gallery and contact. which is not in their use to do the task.

In this case, this app don't need to take permission of phone calls and location in order to share a file.

These kinds of fraud are being done by these Chinese companies and their apps.
