Just days after the Nepali government issued a nationwide ban on PUBG, popular video sharing app TikTok just got banned in India following a ruling by the Madras High Court. The Court ordered Google and Apple to remove the app from their respective stores citing concerns that it was being used to spread pornography. TikTok has more than 120 million users in India, so the move is very likely to ruffle some feathers. However, users who have already downloaded the app to their device shouldn’t be affected. Besides, Android users can still sideload the APK which should be available online with relative ease.

TikTok lets users lip-sync with copyrighted music, allowing users to create a wide range of content. It has been the spawning ground of several memes that eventually make their way to the open internet. This isn’t the first time the app got into trouble, though. Earlier this year in the US, TikTok was fined $5.7 Million for illegally harvesting data off children.
