Ban TikTok in India


Ban TikTok in India
The Issue
TikTok in the past few months has become a warehouse of hate speech, anti-social propaganda and irrational behaviour among the Indian youth. TikTok "content creators" are crossing limits every day - from calling COVID-19 in India as "Rabb Ki NRC" to glorifying rape and acid attack on women.
Here's a compilation of "TikTokers" portraying all sorts of nonsense: https://archive.org/details/tik-toks-portraying-all-sorts-of-nonsense
Though the ones who made those "Rabb Ki NRC" videos in the recent past have been taken care of by authorities, we can't rest assured that TikTok won't host such anti-social elements in the future. TikTok has become a hub for anti-social propaganda, where misguided individuals are displaying/enacting acid attack, rape, animal violence, domestic violence just for a petty amount of views. It doesn't only hamper the mindset of individuals, but also makes them believe that horrendous activities like these are alright and should not be worried about. And a majority of TikTok users are the youth.
Moreover, TikTok allegedly has vulnerability issues which lets hackers access data on the user's phone: https://medium.com/technicity/serious-back-door-vulnerabilities-spotted-in-tik-tok-e717167a1b80
This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed at the earliest. The hon. Minister of Communications Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad and relevant authorities are sincerely requested to put a complete ban on TikTok across all platforms.
