大概一个小时前(印度时间6月29日晚上9点左右),印度政府突然抖出来了一个幺蛾子。
根据电子和信息技术部的公告,印度政府决定为了主权、领土安全、国防、国家安全和公共秩序,决定禁用59款来自中国的app。
头疼
公告说了一大堆大话空话后,表示这次禁止这些app在移动和非移动设备上使用。至于到底内涵和范围是什么,如何实施,是否有有效期,文告并没有说明。
有趣的是,就在一个星期前印度政府在回应社会活动人士要求时还表示不会采取封禁措施。如果在有些国家,政府说什么可以完全不当回事,该怎么做还怎么做。印度这个不管他怎么执行,是否执行地下去,或者甚至是否会执行at all,相关从业者都很头疼。这次有可能很疼。
而这不只是第一次穿小鞋了,之前头疼和蛋疼的事情多了去了。也不只是中国公司会遇到,亚马逊和冤大头沃尔玛没少吃亏;Facebook也磨了这么多年没看到Whatsapp支付完全推开,只能给首富安巴尼纳贡57亿美金。再之前做工厂,开发电厂的东南亚华商的经验,能写一部史书了。
有时候真在想——出海去哪儿不好?

Government Bans 59 mobile apps which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order
Posted On: 29 JUN 2020 8:47PM by PIB Delhi
The Ministry of Information Technology, invoking it’s power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps (see Appendix) since in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.
Over the last few years, India has emerged as a leading innovator when it comes to technological advancements and a primary market in the digital space.
At the same time, there have been raging concerns on aspects relating to data security and safeguarding the privacy of 130 crore Indians. It has been noted recently that such concerns also pose a threat to sovereignty and security of our country. The Ministry of Information Technology has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India. The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures.
The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, Ministry of Home Affairs has also sent an exhaustive recommendation for blocking these malicious apps. This Ministry has also received many representations raising concerns from citizens regarding security of data and risk to privacy relating to operation of certain apps. The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-IN) has also received many representations from citizens regarding security of data and breach of privacy impacting upon public order issues. Likewise, there have been similar bipartisan concerns, flagged by various public representatives, both outside and inside the Parliament of India. There has been a strong chorus in the public space to take strict action against Apps that harm India’s sovereignty as well as the privacy of our citizens.
On the basis of these and upon receiving of recent credible inputs that such Apps pose threat to sovereignty and integrity of India, the Government of India has decided to disallow the usage of certain Apps, used in both mobile and non-mobile Internet enabled devices. These apps are listed in the attached appendix.
This move will safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users. This decision is a targeted move to ensure safety and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace.
