The controversy around the content-generating platform is not only unnecessary, but it is downright dangerous
There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that know and use TikTok and those that don’t. And with all the recent happenings, a very large number has moved from the latter section to the former. With a recent high court ban on downloading the app, now removed (a very strange one, but more on that later), the app made more headlines than ever before. More people became aware of it, making it one of the top apps being downloaded in the country. So what is it, why are people getting millions of views, why is it controversial and how can you become the next superstar on it? Well, you’ve come to the right place as I have all the answers. I’m also doing this column as I have very strong opinions on bans and curtailment of online content and messaging platforms – so pay attention. I may ask questions later.
