‘Ban TikTok App,’ has for long been an ongoing debate on social media. It was majorly seen during the lockdown, and also after YouTuber CarryMinati’s video that was eventually taken down from the platform. Many TikTok clips came in social media that were allegedly glorifying abuses. Again, the border tension between India and China led many to debate over the fact that the Chinese apps should be banned. With the government’s announcement of banning TikTok along with other apps, netizens flood their Twitter timeline with memes and jokes lauding the move.
