On 29th June 2020, India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) announced that it was blocking access to 59 applications within the country. In a statement, the Ministry stated that these apps were "engaged in activities prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India". Given the size of the growing digital demographic in India, and the wide user base of these apps, the decision was momentous - as well as unique, as far as proceedings under the Information Technology Act 2000 go. In this episode of the GameChanger Law Advisors podcast, Associates Subhashini Narayanan and Atulaa Krishnamurthy discuss the provisions of the IT Act and Rules under which the ban appears to have been effected, and other issues that the ban throws up.
