TikTok rating deteriorate on Google Play Store
Why it happen:
To give you an idea as to what the whole backlashing is all about, it began when popular YouTuber CarryMinati posted a video on YouTube roasting popular TikToker Amar Siddiqui in the wake of the ‘YouTube vs TikTok’ battle. The video gathered millions of views and supports from viewers, however, got removed from the video-sharing platform as it didn’t follow the terms of service.
Following this, TikTok began getting poor ratings on the Google Play Store and Twitter trends began gaining traction in support of CarryMinati. The situation got further escalated when another TikToker Faisal Siddiqui posted a TikTok video endorsing acid attacks, leading to more poor ratings on the Google Play Store and demand of ban on the app.
This is not the first time TikTok has been surrounded by controversies in India. Last year, the app was banned in the country as it was found promoting derogatory and offensive content. Post this, TikTok removed around 6 million videos from the platform, although it was removed from the Google Play and the App Store. After being temporarily banned, the Madaras court lifted the Tiktok ban and it eventually returned to both the app stores.
