Google and Apple have removed social media app TikTok from the Play Store and App Store respectively, reports The Economic Times. The action comes days after an Indian state court had asked the federal government to ban TikTok, citing concerns that the video-sharing mobile app exposed children to troubling content. Bytedance, the company which created TikTok, fought the proposal, but it was overruled by India’s Supreme Court.
