Why Tiktok is banned?
Different countries including the US, India, etc have banned Tiktok. The banning governments fear that this Chinese app will deliver the users data to the Chinese government. It’s said that Tiktok can transfer so much data with which the government can even guess what they are up to. On the other hand, Tiktok has a lot of faults in its code. In January 2020, It was found that an attacker can control one’s Tiktok account because of its flaws. Tiktok collects data and permission to create an account which is not necessary to sign up. Not even the world’s top social media’s like Facebook requires that much info to sign up. All of it makes the app suspicious. On the contrary, with the help of Chinese servers, China can easily get pieces of information. 43% of Tiktok users are from India. Tiktok has more than 25 million monthly active users. As it’s banned in those countries, Tiktok is facing a great problem as it has lost a massive number of users.
