LOL. I won't complain and I agree with the banning! When I went to China last year, I could not use google services, FB and YT (because it's not allowed)! Did Google and FB made a big deal out of it? I applaud India for making the first step in banning some suspicious apps made in China -- one of them is Tiktok. FYI, Tiktok failed to respond to the questions on privacy and security in India, and in 2021, the banning was finalized. Good Job, Indian Government!

They have 0 idea of what they're talking about. They just want it banned because it's hard to censor what's said on it and 2, it's also Chinese. What the hell is wrong with them? What propaganda are they yapping about??
They don't realize that most of TikTok users are from North America (220M with USA and Mexico). China gets a different version of TikTok, named Douyin. They just want Americans to use US social media like Twitter (not X), FaceBook, Instagram and whatever so they can easily censor.
To sum it up in a sentence: Why compete when you can ban it.

You right. But it's also true we can't trust China. China is like a snake. TikTok should have been banned a long time ago.

TikTok gets banned because it was highest revenue generating app in 2023.

And WhatsApp and Threads aren't banned. Meta failed to register them with the Chinese government so they have to be removed from the China Appstore. facebook, Instagram and other Meta apps are still in the China Appstore.

I think that's consistent enough ;)

The other problem is how these 2 companies will affect domestic Chinese companies (like Baidu, Weibo, etc). CCP has strong control and influence in almost leader companies. Especially ppl in cpp involved in these affected companies are unwilling to let them enter China market.
