TikTok is a Chinese application so I wonder if there are other interests at play.

Check out Weibo, there's already a Proud Han army furiously attributing this ban to an Indian-American conspiracy designed to stop China's rightful rise. The reality is, if you are unable to prevent millions of your users from seeing videos of sexualized children you will get in trouble.

Google has now blocked Tik Tok in India as a result [0]. [0] https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tiktok-india-court/google...

YouTube also blocked two PewDiePie videos and their comments sections in India on behalf of the high court following a corporate defamation suit. Lately it's not unusual for Indian courts to censor specific media productions and platforms.

Christ, that site is probably the worst ad-laden/features promos experience on mobile that I've seen.

It's no better on the desktop. With uBlockOrigin, I can see 33 primary domains (ad and social networks), and 3 times that number secondary ones, blocked.
