Shein is a global e-commerce platform specializing in fast fashion, the company focuses on women's clothing. The Shein App is committed to making the beauty of fashion accessible to all. It was founded in China, and later it was headquartered in Singapore. Since it offered a vast collection of low-priced Western and trendy clothes, it gained popularity in India, but it was banned in the country in 2020.

Why Was Shein banned?

Shein was banned in India due to security concerns. Along with Shein, other popular Chinese apps such as TikTok, WeChat, and Share It were also banned. The government had decided to ban these apps of Chinese origin after a deadly clash between the Indian and Chinese troops at the international border.

Open AI OpCo LLC, Justice Amit Bansal declined to grant an interim injunction against OpenAI, holding, on a prima facie, interim stage view, that the company’s use of ANI’s news content to train its large language models (“LLMs”) falls within the fair dealing exception under Section 52(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957
