This has been a week that TikTok—the Chinese viral video giant that has soared under lockdown—will want to put quickly behind it... Whether India had always planned to announce its ban on TikTok, along with 58 other Chinese apps, on June 29, or was prompted by the viral response to the iOS security issue is not known. But, as things stand, TikTok has been pulled from the App Store and Play Store in India, its largest market, and has seen similar protests from users in other major markets around the world, including the U.S.
One of the more unusual groups campaigning against TikTok is the newly awakened Anonymous hactivist group... “Delete TikTok now,” the account tweeted, “if you know someone that is using it, explain to them that it is essentially malware operated by the Chinese government running a massive spying operation.” more
