Recently, The Indian Government has banned 59 Apps developed by Chinese firms. Which ByteDance’s TikTok was on the top of the list. As per the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, these Apps were engaging in activities that threatened “national security and defense of India”. This ban took place after 20 Indian soldiers were killed by Chinese troops in the confrontation, in the mountainous region of Ladakh. After India, the US government is also considering banning TikTok, due to national security.
