The spokesman said that it is disappointing that despite efforts in the last seven months, we have not got clear guidelines about how and when our apps will be released.

Pichai responded negatively to this question. He further said that this app, owned by ByteDance, pays for using Google’s cloud services. TikTok has 100 million users in the United States or 10 crore users, but the company has consistently been a target of the Trump administration for the past few months. However, TikTok has now filed a lawsuit against the executive order banning the Trump administration.

On the podcast, Pichai said that like many other tech companies in the midst of the epidemic, TikTok has also grown. Pichai said, “There are many companies that have emerged very strongly at the moment. The big companies are doing very well, but I am also seeing many emerging companies.” He said that today there are more options for information than ever before.”

President Donald Trump had told the media at the White House that he was considering banning TikTok in the US. At the same time, it was also reported that Microsoft, one of the world’s largest software companies, is considering the acquisition of TikTok.

“At a diplomatic level meeting, the chinese side raised the issue of bann on its mobile applications in India”, sourced from ANI.

The Indian side gave a clear view that the app bann is purely done for security reasons. India cannot compromise any data related sharing of its citizens with anybody.

The 59 apps banned from India included many social platforms like Tik Tok, We Chat, UC Browser, Helo etc were a threat to our nation’s security and supremacy.

The apps banned were majorly given a red alert by our intelligence agency in a view that they were collecting n no of user data and possibly sending it out too.

After the bann, the chinese foreign ministry said that it was India’s duty to protect legal rights of its international investors which clearly they didn’t secure.

The apps have been banned under section 69A of the Information Technology Act. A thorough act has been read with relevant provisions of Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) rules 2009.
