Closed Ban and block applications that risk national and data security

Closed on

Applications should be banned or filtered from online stores for users in the UK and their use blocked. State surveillance and data harvesting by countries such as China must be taken seriously.

Continuing to allow such applications to be used in the UK could damage our national security. They should be banned from app stores accessible from UK IP addresses.
