We tell you why the stars and the TikTok entertainers should not be worried with the ban on the app
Following the tensions between India and China, the Centre has banned as many as 59 Chinese apps, including some of the massively used and most popular ones like – TikTok, WeChat, Share It, UC Browser, CamScanner and many others. The Ministry of Information and Technology has cited privacy and security as the main concerns behind taking this expected but drastic measure. While those who had been avid users of these apps might find it difficult, we tell you why for TikTok users, it probably is a good news in disguise.
What makes TikTok dangerous?
Even if we don’t take into consideration the safety and privacy issues or the fact that a Chinese company was gaining profit through Indian users, there have been several red marks all over the app ever since the beginning. The cringe-worthy content, obscenity, pornographic material, child labour, bullying, rape and child abuse, animal abuse, homophobic and terror videos were there for everyone to consume, accidentally or by choice. The lack of self-consciousness or the excess manicured zeal to create most-watched content barely leaves any scope for fear or guilt in creating such graphic content.
