The TikTok saga: What is it, why it is banned in India?

TikTok, the social media giant known for its short-form videos, has once again found itself in the headlines, this time for fresh controversies surrounding its operations and potential impact on national security. Recently, TikTok has been in the news for a new round of concerns about its potential ban in the United States, where lawmakers have raised alarms about its data privacy practices and its ties to the Chinese government. However, its story isn’t new to controversy, especially in India, where the app was banned almost five years ago.
