China Orders Removal of 25 More Apps from Didi, Citing Personal Data Issues

In its latest rebuke to the ride-hailing giant Didi, China ordered 25 more of the company’s apps removed from mobile stores, deepening the regulatory maelstrom that has engulfed the company since it went public on the New York Stock Exchange. The country’s internet regulator said in its announcement that the apps — which include Didi’s car-pooling app, its finance app and its app for corporate customers — showed problems related to the collection and use of personal data.
