India bans TikTok, dozens of other Chinese apps

The Indian government on Monday evening said it was banning 59 apps developed by Chinese firms over concerns that these apps were “engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, and security of state and public order” in what is the latest standoff between the two most populated nations in the world.

ByteDance’s TikTok, which counts India as its biggest market, Community and Video Call apps from Xiaomi, which is the top smartphone vendor in India, UC Browser, UC News, Shareit, CM Browser, Club Factory (India’s third-largest e-commerce firm), ES File Explorer are among the 59 apps that India’s Ministry of Electronics and IT have ordered to ban.

I think I’ve only seen one Indian video on TikTok. Their algorithm presents a very focused set of videos to a user.

That definitely hurts business to have over a billion people banned from using your app.

You should be glad that your nursing home lets you get on the internet.

R12, unless you're 22 or under, you're probably too old for TikTok as well.

Because most people over that age know a trap when they see one.

It’s the parents of the teens that use them are neglectful and abusive.

R11, this is the number 1 thread at the top of the page.

Except for r11. The guy is obsessed with tiktok and making sure he starts a million threads about it here.

You also are too old to be obssed with these teens on tiktok !

They should add Grindr and Riot Games (League of Legends, Valorant etc.) to that list.

Those TikTok clips are so stupid anyway. And all that stupid teasing where guys go shirtless or goof off. And I am supposed to hand over my data for that? No, not gonna happen.

Who uses this spy app after it’s been clearly demonstrated as a tool of the fascists?

Like who is COMPRISING AMERICAN SECURITY just to get some likes?

Who ARE these people????
