As a user of TikTok, one can tell how fun of a social platform it can be. TikTok is an app that allows the user to make a short 15 second video with a song or audio made by other users. TikTok is a very popular app with as many as 17 million users in India alone. A majority of users are under the age of 18 . With such a fast growing community many people have begun to wonder why this app has taken off so fast.
TikTok is a great way for children from the targeted age group of 13-20 to express their personalities and thoughts. But according to an article written by Gale General OneFile, many countries have begun to ban the app, such as Bangladesh and Pakistan for inappropriate content on the app such as bullying and explicit videos. India has begun the process of removing the app from the app store due to users making videos in places that put their safety at risk. A total of 20 people have lost their lives in relation to the app, which is a reason for the ban in India.
