We Transfer app banned in India!

Published by rajeshe092eb6a68

The Government of India has reportedly banned the well-known file-sharing site WeTransfer.com.  As per a report published by Mumbai Mirror, the Department of Telecommunications said that the ban is in view of “public interest and national security.”

The file-transfer site has been quite a popular one, thanks to its user-friendly features.  Lakhs have used it over the years, given that a user can upload files up to 2GB in size in order to share it with others.  It’s a free app. 

The move is likely to generate some criticism.  “We Transfer is just a medium.  How can it be banned?  For the looks of it, there is no breach of privacy.  Also, the app can’t be pulled down just because some users abuse it,” a Twitter user commented.  

An official word on the ban is awaited.
