The ministry stated that the blocking of these
applications stems from their significant adverse effects on social and
security aspects, as well as their unfair competition with licensed
applications. To swiftly remove the unauthorized applications from Jordan's
online stores, the Ministry reached out to the three companies, providing them
with a list of the offending apps, Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
According to the ministry, operating these
applications illegally violates fair competition rules and could lead to
reduced profits for legally compliant licensed businesses, thus negatively
impacting the local economy.
The ministry emphasized the importance of
refraining from using illegal applications, as they have serious detrimental
effects on society, security, and the economy. Specifically, the safety of
passengers is compromised due to some drivers using these illegal apps having
criminal records.
