\tChina\u2019s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) reportedly found a further 43 Chinese apps guilty of illegally handling user data including contact lists and location information, and ordered their parent companies to make amendments by next week.<\/p>\n

In a statement viewed by Reuters, MIIT decreed the 43 apps had illegally transferred user data while also harassing the customers with pop-up windows. Among the list are Tencent’s WeChat, an e-reading service owned by Alibaba and video streaming platform iQiyi,<\/p>\n

The owners of the apps were ordered to rectify the issues by 25 August or be subject to punishment with relevant laws and regulations.<\/p>\n

MIIT\u2019s rebuke comes as the country continues to ramp regulatory scrutiny of the technology industry, putting a particular focus on how companies in the sector approach privacy and user data.<\/p>\n

This week, China\u2019s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) published new draft regulations [1] for the internet sector to prevent unfair competition.<\/p>\n

Chinese apps have also been under the spotlight in India over concerns about user data collection.<\/p>\n

In 2020, India’s government banned access [2] to more than 150 apps, including a number of Tencent titles [3].<\/p>\n
