India court lifts ban on Bytedance’s TikTok

Bloomberg

A court in Indian state of Tamil Nadu overturned a ban on TikTok video-sharing app after accepting its maker Bytedance’s petition for interim relief.
The app will now be made available for downloads in the world’s fastest-growing smartphone market with certain safeguards until a final decision is made. The app was banned out of concern it exposed children to disturbing content. “TikTok will update their privacy protection norms according to the court’s order and will address any complaint over content in three to 36 hours,” said K Neelamegam, a lawyer representing the petitioner.
