India bans TikTok, WeChat, and dozens of other Chinese apps
India is absolutely right in banning TikTok as it is a significant national securities threat.<p>As long as the platforms recommendation and ranking algos are a black box, there is no guarantee that China isn’t conducting misinformation campaigns via the platform.<p>At the very least, the government should audit the algos and make sure China can’t arbitrarily alter ranking results.
