The upping of ante against TikTok (and by extension ByteDance’s India-focused app Helo) started earlier — in part because of the Chinese origins of the pandemic in Wuhan. A general sentiment that has built up not just in India, but globally. The tipping point, however, came in May, when a “war” broke out between a popular TikTok and YouTube creators over their respective popularities, or quality of content, and seizing the moment, some influential members of India’s digital right-wing joined in. This led to nationalist developers building apps, albeit briefly, which removed Chinese apps<\/a>, including TikTok, from devices.
Other concerns followed, with several videos flagging animal abuse or its allowing of alleged anti-India content among other things, including concerns over data being shipped to China and censorship. This is important, as a report in a China-focused technology magazine PingWest revealed in early June that ByteDance was cutting its Chinese engineers’ access to TikTok and other overseas products. This was the latest in a series of efforts that the company is undertaking to “erect administrative and technical firewalls” between China and its global operations.
The development, if true, also comes at a time when the company hired former Disney senior executive Kevin Mayer as TikTok’s CEO and ByteDance’s COO. In short, ByteDance is attempting a makeover, considering concerns expressed by US regulators, legislators and users around issues of national security and its $1 billion acquisition of Musical.ly in late 2017.

In India, TikTok has come under intense scrutiny in its short, three-year-old existence. Last year, for instance, as ET reported, it told the IT Ministry that it did not “pay creators to create content, nor does it interfere or control the creation of content on the platform”. In the very next line, though, it said that it engaged with “certain users who can promote the platform and teach others on how to generate the most value of the tools available on the platform.”
This was inherently contradictory, as ET reported, scouring through multiple contracts where TikTok (and its earlier avatar of Musical.ly) did in fact pay creators through virtual currencies like “diamonds” which could be redeemed later.
At the time, ByteDance defended these as “standard marketing practices”, and that it does not “represent a manifestation of editorial control”, a key element of India’s safe harbour rules for technology platforms, and that it was merely a “passive house or an enabler.”
In July last year, several members of parliament — from leading national and regional parties — had raised concerns on the floor of the Lok Sabha ranging from national security to transfer of data to China, ByteDance’s close relationship with the Chinese government, to its role in “endangering the democratic processes”.
This followed a brief, six-day ban where TikTok was banned in India in April 2019 by the Madras High Court, in response to a petition that alleged that TikTok was spreading pornography while also potentially “exposing children to sexual predators, and adversely impacting the mental health of its users”
TikTok, however, refutes these charges of data transfer to China. In previous statements to ET, the company has stated that “Indian user data is stored at industry-leading third-party data centres,” while also maintaining that, “TikTok does not operate in the People’s Republic of China, and their government has no access to TikTok user data, nor does it have a relationship with China Telecom.”

在火线TikTok反华情绪上升
赌注的增加与TikTok(通过扩展ByteDance aim应用直升机)早些时候开始,部分原因是中国武汉起源的大流行。一般的情绪,不仅建立在印度,但在全球范围内。《引爆点》,然而,今年5月,当之间的“战争”爆发流行TikTok和YouTube的创造者在各自的受欢迎程度,或质量的内容,并抓住时机,一些印度数字右翼的有影响力的成员加入。这导致了民族主义开发者构建应用程序,虽然时间很短,删除中国的应用,包括TikTok,从设备。
发展,如果这是真的,也正值该公司聘请了前迪斯尼高管凯文·梅耶TikTok首席执行官和ByteDance首席运营官。简而言之,ByteDance正在改造,造成了美国监管机构的担忧,立法者和国家安全的用户问题和其10亿美元收购音乐。适用于2017年底。
在印度,TikTok已经受到严格审查其短,三岁的存在。等报道,去年,例如它告诉它省没有“创造者创造内容付费,也不干涉或控制的创建平台”上的内容。然而在最下一行,表示,它与“某些用户可以促进平台和教导别人如何生成最价值的工具平台。”
等报道这是固有的矛盾,在通过多个合同,TikTok(及其《阿凡达》早些时候Musical.ly)事实上通过虚拟货币支付创作者喜欢“钻石”以后可以赎回。
当时,ByteDance辩解说这些“标准营销实践”,并没有“代表编辑控制”的表现,印度的安全港规则的一个关键要素的技术平台,它仅仅是一个“被动的房子或一个推动者。”
去年7月,一些议会成员——从主要国家和地区的政党——人民院的担忧在地板上从国家安全到传输数据到中国,ByteDance的与中国政府关系密切,“危害民主进程”的角色。
随后短暂,六天的禁令,禁止TikTok在印度马德拉斯高等法院于2019年4月,在一份请愿书,宣称TikTok传播色情,同时也可能“让孩子性捕食者,严重影响用户的心理健康”
然而,TikTok驳斥了这些指控的数据传输到中国。在之前的语句等,公司表示,“印度用户数据存储在行业领先的第三方数据中心”,同时也维护,“TikTok并不在中华人民共和国的中国,和他们的政府没有TikTok用户数据的访问,与中国电信也没有关系。”
