India bans TikTok
Earlier in April 2019, TikTok was briefly banned in India by the Madras High Court for hosting 'pornographic and sleazy' content. Recently millions of Indian users had also called for a ban on the app after videos promoting violence against women went viral, with NCW chief Rekha Sharma seeking a total ban on it. Zoom too had been called out for security issues, with the government then issuing a notification for safe usage of the application.
On the other side, this time, the Centre has stated that it has received numerous complaints from various sources including several reports about the misuse of these apps for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorised manner to servers which have locations outside India. Hence, in a move to protect the sovereignty of Indian Cyberspace and to ensure the interests of crores of Indian mobile users, the government has stated that this was a major blow to China’s Digital Silk Route ambitions. This move comes amid the ongoing India-China standoff at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Apart from TikTok, the recent list also listed out apps such as UC Browser, Shareit, WeChat and Shein among many others.
Nayanthara's projects
South actor Nayanthara will kick-start shooting for her upcoming film, which is titled Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kadhal. The film will also feature Samantha Akkineni and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead characters. She is also gearing up for her another release, Mookuthi Amman, which has been directed by RJ Balaji. The Tamil actor also has Rajinikanth starrer Annaatthe in her kitty.
