Tencent detailed an intention to engage with Indian officials to seek a reversal of an order blocking its apps [1] taken as part of a broader clampdown due to security concerns, Reuters reported.
The news agency stated Tencent highlighted protecting users’ data and privacy was a priority, as it apparently sought to address a key concern cited by Indian authorities as a factor in their move to ban a swathe of apps from Chinese developers.
India added a further 118 apps to its blacklist [2] this week, extending previous blocks [3]. The nation cited concerns over security and public order for its clampdown.
Tencent was heavily impacted by the latest blocks, with key gaming titles PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG); Arena of Valor; and Chess Rush, along with collaboration services WeChat Work and VooV Meeting – Tencent Video Conferencing included.
