PUBG banned in India is shocking!
118 more Apps banned
I live in India. My brother told me in the morning that PUBG is banned and I suddenly asked him “What will you do now” because my brother is a fan of PUBG. He was an Ace player for a year now. He said nothing in reply. I immediately searched on Google to know if it’s real and why PUBG is banned.
I noticed many articles have already been published on the Internet.
The reason behind banning PUBG mentioned by indiatoday.in is “According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, PUBG Mobile has been banned under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, on grounds that “they are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of state and public order”.
To protect the data and the country from any kind of harm through the internet share, the Indian defense decided to ban the Chinese Apps and any app related to China.
As I did more research on this topic I understood,
According to Article 14 of Chinese Intelligence Law 2017, national intelligence institutions may demand relevant organs from citizens or organizations in China. And according to Article 16 of Chinese Intelligence law, Govt. may demand any data files or credentials of users and an organization has to provide the same. If not, then govt may file a case against the organization to not comply with the rule and regulations.
In this case, a Chinese Organization has to provide the user’s sensitive data to the Chinese Govt. that China can utilize in any form. Hence, the Indian govt banned 118 Apps in India including PUBG and TikTok.
I respect the decision made by our govt for safety. Maybe this another shock may turn people’s lives in a new direction—especially from a few social addictions.
As WHO (World Health Organization) once recognized in 2018, PUBG is a harmful addiction to our mental health. It can raise aggression among PUBG. And I agree.
I have also played PUBG during the initial days of lockdown. I could never tell when the 3–4 hours passed by. It was a waste though. When I leveled up a bit, I felt aggression raising within me for not having a chicken dinner (Victory). I was not a good player so my friends teased for not playing well. I thought I will practice hard and will improve my skills. “But wait for a second,” I told to myself and realized that I cannot waste my time here. Then I uninstalled PUBG and started working on productive platforms.
One of them is Medium.
Thank you for reading. Have a lovely day ahead.
