Check out whether any one of the above apps you are using and then take steps to help government to ban these apps in light of "safety, security and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace". Remember, in this app-dependent era, our personally identifiable data might be drained through various data sharing apps and that is why refraining from the use of the above apps might be a step ahead for our secured cyber environment. But there are lot of questions, I think in the mind of the people and amongst them, how the banning procedures can be fulfilled in this age of globalization and in light of the overpowering effects of the cyber world to penetrate or crossing the national geographical boundaries at ease. Again for the addicted generation who are mostly engrossed in games like PUBG etc., what will be the alternatives. Our government has to take many steps, like that of passing appropriate direction to internet service providers or app-hosting companies or other stake-holders to stop use of the above apps and should make and encourage our youths to design or make similar apps in the country, as we have no shortage of talent in India.
