The Indian Government banned the App in April, keeping in view the negative effect that it is causing. Tik Tok is one of the world’s most popular Apps now and is used to create short videos with special effects. The court order that banned Tik Tok says TikTok enables “cultural degradation and pornography” and also cites concerns that young users on the platform were putting their privacy at risk. The order also extends the ruling to media outlets, banning them from using Tik Tok footage in their reporting.
Tik Tok also introduced a number of names to stardom, as they grew popular with their videos on Tik Tok. Today, it claims more than 500 million registered users. With over 13.2 million followers on Tik Tok, Jannat Zubair Rehmani is the most popular Tik Tok star in India.
