China removes 90 apps to check ‘irregular collection of personal information’
中国下架90款非法收集个人信息的app应用
China has asked domestic app stores to remove 90 apps in an attempt to check “irregular collection of personal information.”The move comes two weeks after the implementation of a new regulation that defines what types of user data apps can collect and what is off limits. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced that the apps were being taken “offline” for an indefinite period.
