India banned Tik Tok and 59 other Chinese apps and now it seems like US is also planning the same.
Mike Pompeo said:
“I don’t want to get out in front of the President (Donald Trump), but it’s something we’re looking at,”
India banned apps for engaging in activities
“prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order”
The ban came due to the wake of the ongoing stand-off along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh with Chinese troops.
After the banning of apps, they have been removed from Apple Inc and Google LLC’s app stores.
“India bans TikTok and dozens of other Chinese apps in the wake of deadly clash,” powerful Republican Senator John Cornyn said in a tweet as he tagged a news report in The Washington Post.
Republican Congressman Rick Crawford tweeted that “TikTok must go and it should have been gone yesterday.”
O’Brien said on public remarks said:
“On TikTok, a Chinese-owned social media platform with over 40 million American users, probably a lot of your kids, and younger colleagues, accounts criticising the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and Beijing’s policies are routinely removed or deleted,”
