  • In recent years, TikTok has been gaining traction and it has become a cultural and social phenomenon. Its short-form videos, creative content and user-friendly platform has captivated the attention of millions of people around the world.

The article from MSN outlines the global regulatory landscape concerning TikTok, detailing where the app has faced bans or restrictions due to security and privacy concerns. Countries like India have imposed a complete ban on TikTok citing national security issues, while in the United States, there have been discussions and actions at various governmental levels, including potential nationwide bans unless TikTok divests from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. Other nations such as Canada, the European Union, and several others have either banned TikTok on government devices or are considering similar measures. The reasons for these restrictions often revolve around fears of data privacy breaches, potential espionage, and the influence of the Chinese government through ByteDance. Additionally, the article mentions that Pakistan has intermittently banned TikTok over content deemed inappropriate, and Afghanistan's Taliban government has also banned it for leading youth astray. The list reflects a growing international scrutiny of TikTok's data practices and its ties to China.
