TikTok was permanently banned in India on June 29, 2020, as part of a broader blocking of 59 Chinese apps. The Indian government enacted the ban using its power to protect national security, stating that these apps threatened the “sovereignty, integrity, and public order” of the country. This decisive action was a direct response to a deadly military clash with Chinese troops at the border, which fueled major data privacy fears and national security concerns that user information could be accessed by the Chinese government.
The ban had an immediate and massive impact, cutting off TikTok’s largest foreign market of over 200 million users. While it was a major financial blow to TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, it successfully created a vacuum in the market that was quickly filled by Indian and American competitors like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and several domestic startups, aligning with the government’s push for a more self-reliant digital economy.
