As per report days after the Madras High Court directed the central government to prohibit the download of social media platform TikTok, an appeal has been filed in the Supreme Court against the order. Meanwhile the Supreme Court has on Monday, 8 April, said it will look into the matter and the Madras High Court had, on 3 April, directed the central government to prohibit the download of mobile application TikTok, stating that the app hosts inappropriate content, including pornography, which is available for access to children.

Furthermore a bench comprising Justices N Kirubakaran and SS Sundar had passed an interim order prohibiting the media from telecasting the videos made using the app. Perhaps the court has also directed the government to respond on whether legislation similar to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, enacted by the United States, can be brought in India.

 


Moreover the HC was hearing a petition which contended that the Tik Tok mobile app "was containing degrading culture and encouraging pornography besides containing explicit disturbing content and causing social stigma and medical health issue between teens." The court observed that "Majority of the teens are playing pranks, gaffing around with duet videos and sharing with split screen to the strangers. The children who use the said application are vulnerable and may expose them to sexual predators”. Apparently the petition seeking a ban on TikTok will be heard on 16 April.
