Users, Rejoice! TikTok Ban Has Been Lifted

After much speculations and mixed responses, Madras High Court has finally lifted the interim ban on the video app TikTok which has over 54 million users all across India.

However, it has stated its conditions under which if TikTok fail to curb the uploading of pornographic content, court proceedings would start again.

The case was filed by Advocate Muthukumar and on 3rd of April; Madras High Court passed directions to the centre for banning the download of the video app all over India due to issues regarding its “pornographic” videos.

Another petition accusing the app for degrading culture and encouraging pornography is on hearing at the Madras High Court’s Madurai bench.

ByteDance, the developer of TikTok, claims that 85 per cent of TikTok users are adults and only a very little amount of videos on the app can be considered as inappropriate.

It has also put more than 250 jobs at stake and as per the social media firm, it ended up losing a million new users daily and it took a hit on ByteDance’s goodwill.
