TikTok is found to be distancing itself from China in their latest letter to the Indian Government. The company chief, in its letter to the Indian government wrote that it will never compromise with user data.
The recently banned short video app and social network TikTok reportedly found to be distancing itself from China in their latest letter to the Indian Government. The ban on 59 applications was ordered in response to the ongoing military tensions between the two countries at the borders. As seen by Reuters, in its recent letter dated June 28 to the Indian Government, TikTok Chief Executive, Kevin Mayer, said the Chinese Government has never requested user data, nor would the company turn it over if asked.
TikTok is highly prevalent in India, as its the top market for TikTok downloads in 2019 (excluding Chinese Android downloads), with 323 million installs, accounting for 44% of the total figure. The ban, as expected, raised alarms for the company given the popularity and investments in the Indian market.
