What the U.S. Can Learn From India’s TikTok Ban | WSJ

Congress is considering banning TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media app that millions of Americans use daily. But the U.S. wouldn’t be the first country to ban the app - India banned TikTok in 2020. One of the main reasons for the ban in both India and the U.S. stems from TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance.

Use the right map of India! USA should have banned it long ago. Now it has become a habit that is hard to break.

[ViharS]

next time Any Indian uses American map, Delete Hawai & alaska from it

[xijinpig]

Siachen Glacier is entirely under Indian control, show it in the map.

I've said it before and I will say it again: I'm fine with us banning tiktok or forcing it to come to US soil, with a single caveat. We need to address privacy violations of apps that are US based too. Meta selling data that ends up in the hands of foreign governments is still happening, and is a much bigger risk than tiktok is. It's kinda gross to be obsessed with the chinese company but not say anything about our own.

Map mentioned in the video is an incorrect representation of India kindly update it

POK is integral part of India and it always would be. Better to use the correct map of India 🤨

the reason indian government didn't face much backlash on the ban of tiktok is because the app was overloaded with cringe and people(especially youtubers) started a cold war against tiktok because of all the cinge in the app. Alot of people loved tiktok at the same time alot of people (also parents) hated tiktok. And also because chinese-indian border issues where indian soliders were martyred.

[ManoranjanPradhanrinku]

It is only happened in India because the public opinion allows it for the issue of galwan valley incident where our soldiers are killed and Modi govt use it against Chinese apps ban at a time 100 apps including TikTok. It is what a skilled govt do and people unity on the issue cause the app ban.

Its pathetic that all these people defending and protesting against the banning of TikTok will come together on a useless app but stay quiet on other real problems that affects the country as a whole.

[jhadhiraj]

Both India 🇮🇳 & Nepal 🇳🇵have banned it!! I know Nepal does not count much in this international affair but still you can feel the concern.

[manjusharma]

Show the POK and Aksai chin as part of indian map..

[Elodie]

WSJ know How To attract Indian Audience 😂😂😂

[exploderingwithkrishnashuk]

Stopped watching the video the moment you showed incorrect map of the great nation of India.

[AndreaDoesYoga]

India's TikTok ban can be a useful lesson for US 🧐

[prajwalofficialYT]

I think the right way to answer this video is by reporting this video for using wrong indian Map

[ParashMitra]

India has also the option of VPN but all user will not pay to use VPN just for tiktok and free VPN sucks at their service . So it is not a viable for most of the user base in USA just like users in India in 2020.

[LEGEND_TANMAY]

Thats the wrong indian does not look like that
