- Government orders ban on Tiktok
- Statement given by Nikhil Gandhi
- China will not provide user information
The government's order is being complied with, but no Indian user information has been shared with any other country, not even China. Yesterday (June 29), the Modi government banned 59 apps, including TikTok. Amid tensions in Ladakh, the government's decision is being seen as a strong message for China.
Nikhil Gandhi, India head of Tiktok, said, "The Indian government has issued an interim order banning 59 apps, including Tiktok. We are preparing to comply with the order." Nikhil Gandhi also said that we will maintain the privacy and integrity of the user. However, the government's claim is different and very serious.
Informing about its decision on June 29, the central government said, "We are getting information about the misuse of these apps, users' data is being transferred to other countries outside India."
The central government has taken this decision under Section 69-A of the IT Act. The government has said that these apps are a threat to India's sovereignty and integrity, so they have been banned from mobile and non-mobile internet devices.
