New Delhi: In the wake of the India-China clash at the Galwan Valley, the Indian government took the unprecedented step of banning 59 Chinese apps in the country on Monday. The banned mobile applications with their origin in China include TikTok, SHAREit, UC Browser, WeChat, UC News, Weibo and Xender, among others.
The government said that these apps have been banned for safety, security, defense, sovereignty and integrity of India.
One of the apps banned was the popular Tiktok app which had one of the largest user bases in India and was extensively used for the purpose of entertainment. As of June 2019, it was estimated that there were 120 million monthly TikTok users in India.
While several Indian users including celebrities rejoiced the decision on social media, other avid Tiktokers were left heartbroken. Previously too, TikTok was heavily criticized and called out for its cringe-worthy, sexist and inappropriate content.
Many users who hailed the govt order started trending #RIPTiktok on Tuesday while making fun of TikTokers through hilarious memes. Other hashtags like #tiktokbanned, #tiktokbanindia are also trending on the microblogging platform:
