TikTok disappears from Google Play Store and Apple App Store after court order
TikTok claims to have over 120 million users in the country and says that only a small portion of the content violates the norms. The app has faced criticism around the world and is already banned in Bangladesh.
Apple and Google have removed TikTok, the popular short video platform from their respective app stores. The move comes after a ruling by the Madras High Court orderedboth the platform developers to remove the application from app stores. The order was issued due to concerns that TikTok was being used to spread pornographic content. ByteDance, the Chinese developer of TikTok, appealed to suspend the order but the court refused the appeal, which has resulted in the app disappearing from Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
TikTok has become one of the fastest growing social media platform in the past few months. The application allows users to create and share videos on the platform and is estimated to have more than 120 million users in the country. The app faced criticism from government officials and users for hosting inappropriate content. The app, which is particularly popular among teenagers, allows users to watch shorts videos by vertically scrolling through them. It's popularity is driven by the fact that people can post short videos of themselves lip-syncing and dancing to their favorite songs or completing certain challenges.
