Last night, the government decided to take an unprecedented step and ban the use of 59 Chinese apps in the country. The list includes some really popular apps like TikTok, Cam Scanner, Mi Community app, and a whole lot more. 

While a lot of Indians were surprised by this decision, it's safe to say that it was received well by most people on the internet.

A lot of supporters who were against the use of Chinese apps and products are extremely excited. Twitter also witnessed some of the funniest memes from these supporters yesterday.

For some reason, people seem to be really happy about TikTok getting banned, in particular.

While most people are happy about the removal of TikTok from both the Google Play Store and App Store, there are some mixed reactions for other utility apps like Cam Scanner. 

Anyway, a majority of these apps have now been removed from the marketplace and it remains to be seen for how long this ban is in place. For now, our best bet is to find alternatives that we can use. Stay tuned for more on that.
