But why would the government be in in involved in banning apps. Don't we have more important cases pending.

[devmunchies]

I have no idea why people would want the government to step in. Forfeiting freedom because it's more convenient than being a hard-ass parent and not letting your child use the app or phone.

There are certainly apps that should be illegal where the government should step in, right? Unless you're arguing that all apps should be legal?

This is literally at the top of the article:

The move, by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), comes after the Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay an earlier order by the Madras High Court to ban the app.

So, the government banned the app on highcourt's order

The government banned the app at the directive of the court.
