The internet had a great time creating hilarious memes around the probable ‘comeback’ of TikTok in India.
In June 2020, India banned several apps, including TikTok, after the government blocked 59 Chinese applications citing security threats. TikTok’s official website recently became accessible to several users across India. This has sparked speculation about a possible return of the Chinese video-sharing giant.
TikTok has suddenly reappeared for users in India.
A sudden reappearance of TikTok’s website has sparked speculation. However, the app itself remains unavailable on app stores in India. Officials have also clarified that no formal order has been issued to lift the ban at this time. The ban on TikTok and several other Chinese apps took effect in June 2020, at the government of India. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology had stated that “enough information was available to prove that these were engaged in activities which are prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of the state and public order.”
