Almost a week after the Madras High Court has lifted the ban from popular video creating application TikTok, the app is now available for download on Google Play store and Apple App store.
The Madras High Court, earlier this month, had asked the government to impose a ban on downloads of social media app TikTok, ruling on a public interest litigation (PIL) that stated that the app encouraged pornography and made children vulnerable to sexual predators.
Soon after the court’s order, TikTok had said in a statement, “We are glad about this decision and we believe it is also greatly welcomed by our thriving community in India, who use TikTok as a platform to showcase their creativity. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving our users better.”
“While we’re pleased that our efforts to fight against misuse of the platform has been recognised, the work is never “done” on our end. We are committed to continuously enhancing our safety features as a testament to our ongoing commitment to our users in India,” TikTok added.
ByteDance plans to invest $1 billion in India over the next three years and increase the number of employees in India to 1,000 employees by the end of this year.
