But, whether or not, its charged role in sending users' data to servers in China and doing it even post someone has deleted the app from their phones has something to do with it, is even then to be seen.

But, here is what we do have knowledge. Alibaba the company that owns UC Browser has not released any official statement on the sudden removal of the application. But, one Mike Ross who apparently works with UC Browser has taken to Twitter to reveal why UC Browser can't be found on the Play Store anymore.I work for UC Browser, I got the mail today morning it said that UC Browser was temporarily removed from play store for 30 days because it used "Confusing" and "Morbid" methods" of promotion to increase installs.

All said, there's still no official statement from UC Web or Google regarding the delisting.

Reports went viral back in August that UC Browser was trying to snitch sensorial user data which it then sends to its servers in China without users certain. And, most possibly, that's what the government has done by delisting the application from Google play store.
