America's TikTok ban came five years after India blocked the app, citing security reasons. India had said that TikTok, along with 58 other Chinese apps, posed a threat to sovereignty and security of the country.

TikTok fans in the U.S. are racing to secure alternatives and safeguard their digital empires ahead of a looming shutdown, evoking the chaos of India's 2020 ban that erased the app from the lives of 200 million users overnight.

TikTok’s ban marooned over 170 million monthly users who made the wildly addictive short-form video app a central part of their daily lives.

When India banned TikTok in June 2020, Meta's Instagram and Google's YouTube gained big time. Will it be the same with the US suspension?

TikTok’s time in the United States is counting down. But Washington is only the latest government to impose restrictions on the video app.

The Indian Government’s action in 2020 serves as a case study of how quickly platforms can be sidelined due to regulatory decisions.

If it feels like TikTok has been around forever, that's probably because it has, at least if you're measuring via internet time.

Supreme Court of The United States of America rejected the appeal to withdraw the ban on the Chinese app, TikTok.

TikTok's popularity has been met with bans in several countries, including the US, due to national security and data privacy concerns. From Afghanistan to India, governments have taken action, sparking debate about the platform's future.
