[Update: Ban Lifted] VLC Media Player banned in India

Govt must ban Windows too. All viruses use windows runtime to infect windows.

Computers should also be banned. Chinese hackers are using computers to create virus.
The so called "government" actually should be banned, they really have no idea what they're doing, just talking loud and saying nothing.
Is their website the only thing that's banned? Or can we not use the app at all anymore?
You can still use it and share the distribution.
 
so are android applications theoretically ig?
Most people install apps through play store where apps can be banned. Most android apps are connected to internet and the app maker can turn them off from their side like aliexpress. Then google itself has a kill switch and it can kill any app without even informing the user. There are many ways to ban or block an app on android.
 
So, my question here is - Should I retain the existing VLC player on my PC without updating it ever or should I delete it from my PC forever? (Not that the Chinese or Modi Uncle will be thrilled to find the contents of my computer - No bank balance worth speaking of, Not an MBA which automatically means that I am not of any use to Indian society at large & no secret dossiers against the state. Just poems & half-finished stories along with visits to sites of ill-fame.)
 
If you read through the first page of this thread, you'll see that there never was any issue with official VLC Player software. The issue was with a maliciously modified version.
Ya. My bad, didn't read through carefully enough. Got it later. Thanks for pointing it out.
