On November 10, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology removed 60 apps from the shelves. Not only that, in the follow-up process, these removed apps will also be required to undergo strict rectification.
Companies that collect user information in violation of regulations will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
I specially checked the following apps that were removed from the shelves this time, and found that there are quite a lot of them that everyone will use frequently, such as Zhuge Weather, short video editing, Diandian News, Panda Catch Dolls, etc.
I have watched all the apps involved. Personally, I have never installed them on my phone. I wonder if you have been tricked?
Why are apps illegally obtaining user information repeatedly banned?
I believe that many netizens will have the same trouble when installing the APP. Why are they repeatedly asked to obtain the user's location information when installing the APP?
It also includes private software such as photo albums and phone books.
Because many apps, if you do not agree to obtain them, may not be able to be used normally. In addition, many netizens do not fully protect the relevant privacy. Generally, when they see an application for obtaining personal information, they will click to agree.
But what many people may not expect is that game apps officially collect user personal information through this method, such as apps such as Honey Travel and Flower Friends. You can’t imagine what they will do after illegally collecting user information.
It may be that your information is sold out, causing criminals to learn all your information.
It may also cause many merchants to frequently send you harassing messages and various promotions to apply for a card.
Although this behavior is illegal, such apps are emerging in endlessly.
This reminds everyone that you must make more comparisons when downloading software, especially now that there are various similar software in the app store, which is dazzling and difficult to distinguish.
It is recommended that you choose software with higher ratings or more positive comments. Never download some unknown software, because you don’t know when your information will be leaked.
