Thanks

Thank you. That's why I read the comments first. Considering tiktok is banned in india, it would have been surprising if they had anything but a skeletan crew to wind down their operation in india.

not super surprising considering the app is banned in India

Given the brainrot it seems to be gifting the world more countries should be banning it.

How is tiktok any more or less brain rot than say hacker news?

Stop advocating banning things that don’t fit our belief system/ethics/worldview. No more asking to ban TikTok, Twitter, Trump, Biden.

No more banning. D'you understand?! Even... and I want to make this absolutely clear... even if they do say Jehovah!

Do you also believe the world's countries should ban reddit? It's front page is littered with content taken directly from TikTok.

Why did they have employees there given they are banned there?

atdrummond• 3 years ago

They gave them work for their EMEA and Latin America teams after India banned the app. They were also clear they would likely downsize.

All in all, about as decent as one can expect a company to treat you.

Banned how? What's to do stop someone from just installing the APK?

frontman1988• 3 years ago

tiktok.com itself is banned. You will have to use a VPN as well to bypass it.

The real question is who wants to use Tik Tok that badly and if it is even health to want to do so.

What's to do stop someone from just installing the APK?

The manual process of just installing the APK.

The servers would be banned but TikTok itself is complying and blocking Indian Ips

azurenumber• 3 years ago

Loaction information from sim card is checked after installing apk of TikTok. And if location found to be banned country like India , then installed app itself will not work.

Doesn't India have its own version?
