The Indian government banned 59 popular mobile apps, including TikTok and WeChat. These applications, mostly developed by China-based firms, were targeted due to national security and privacy concerns. China declared that it always asks the Chinese companies to abide by both international and local laws and regulations. TikTok also denied sharing users’ data with the Chinese government.
On 15 June, the severe border clash between India and China in a disputed area of Himalayas caused the death of 20 Indian soldiers. The incident provoked outrage across the country to boycott Chinese products and burn Chinese flags. Before this, 30% of TikTok downloads were from India. However, millions of Indians have now installed “Remove China Apps” to detect and delete Chinese software.
友善讓你懂 │ 解說:
印度政府明令禁止59個熱門手機應用程式在印度使用,名單中包含了抖音及微信。這些應用程式大部分都是中國公司所開發的,被特別挑出來針對的理由是國家安全與個資安全考量。中國聲稱他們始終要求中國公司在海外運作時,需同時遵守國際及營運地的法律規範。抖音也特別澄清並未將用戶資料分享給中國政府使用。
這個大動作的起因,是由於六月十五日時,印度跟中國在喜瑪拉雅山脈附近的國界爭議地區爆發了激烈的邊境衝突,造成20名印度軍人喪生。這起意外衝突激起了印度全國上下的憤怒,開始抵制中國商品、焚燒中國國旗。在此之前,抖音兩億多次的全球下載量有30%來自印度。然而,現在有數百萬的印度人在手機上安裝了「移除中國App」的應用程式,來偵測並刪除手機上由中國公司推出的軟體。
輕鬆帶著走 │ 學習:
現代人的手機裝載了許多重要個人資訊,許多應用程式(application,縮寫為App)在外觀、語言介面上並未明確顯示開發來源,因此建議在安裝前,確認安裝頁面中的「程式開發者訊息」,進一步保障自己的個資安全。以下是跟手機資安相關的單字:
1. developer n. 開發者
2. privacy n. 隱私
3. user data leaking 用戶資訊外洩
4. install v. 安裝(App)
5. uninstall v. 移除、卸載(App),移除手機App也可口語一點說delete, remove
6. permission n. 權限,許多App安裝時會要求用戶同意開放鏡頭、麥克風等不同等級的權限,務必仔細了解以保障自身安全
7. backdoor n. 後門,在資訊領域中,意指開了一個漏洞,可隨時在用戶未察覺的情況下從設備取出或傳送資料
例句:
Some smartphones might silently send user data to remote servers without your permission.
有些智慧型手機可能會在未取得你的允許下,偷偷把你的使用者訊息傳到遠方的伺服器。
