TIKTOK

Released in 2016 , TikTok is a short-form video hosting social media service. It is owned by a Chinese company, ByteDance. These user-submitted videos have gained global popularity over time and have resulted in a line of trends, celebrities and more. In 2020, TikTok was banned in India under the claims of it being a risk to privacy and security. Outlawing the app has been a topic of debate since.
