Video creating and sharing platform TikTok is battling new
fires every day. After the Madras High Court ordered a ban on it, tech giants
Google and Apple removed the application from the Android and iOS application
stores. The move increased the heat on TikTok which has been under the scanner
for a number of highly publicised incidents that have led to increased calls
for bans against it.
TikTok for its part has called the ban as a move that
"amounts to curtailing of the rights of the citizens of India...who have
been using the platform every day to express themselves and create
content." The company has also claimed that only a tiny proportion of
TikTok videos have been flagged showing that a "very minuscule"
proportion of its content was considered inappropriate or obscene.
The popular video creating and sharing app, has been in the
news for the wrong reasons for a while now. Despite enjoying a loyal following
of millions of fans across the globe, the app has faced its fair share of
criticism, and a seemingly endless stream of controversies has ensured that
there have been quite a few calls for it to be banned -- calls that
appear to have been answered with the Madras High Court banning the app within
the country.
TikTok which has amassed 120 million monthly users in India
-- up from some 50 million it had five months ago -- has faced this
backlash because of some high profile incidents that have shown the platform in
poor light and resulted in India joining the growing list of countries -- including
Bangladesh and Indonesia.
Considering some of the seriously dangerous events happened in
past over making tik tok videos, one such is shooting a friend, I feel safety
is most important. And everything is well till it doesn’t becomes addiction and
this one also became quite an addiction in youth.
