The TikTok vs YouTube feud does not seem to end soon. After controversial videos of Faizal Siddiqui and Mujibur Rehman glorifying abuse surfaced on social media, angry netizens assembled to ban the video-sharing platform in India. With #BanTikTokIndia, people are downloading the app, and then giving low reviews on Play Store, which led TikTok’s ratings to dilute even further. From being at 4.0 ratings, TikTok witnessed 2.0 stars until yesterday, May 19, 2020. And now, the ratings have dropped further to 1.3 on Google Play Store. Netizens cannot keep calm, and their excitement is reaching a new height as they continue to trend #BanTikTokIndia with hilarious memes and jokes.

It all began with TikToker Amir Siddiqui’s now-deleted IGTV video, where he said that TikTok users create more and better content than YouTube, tagging many YouTubers including Carry Minati. In a respond, Carry released a roast video, targeting Siddiqui. However, his video was also removed adhering to YouTube’s online bullying policy.
