TikTok is back in play on Google, Apple app stores

CHENNAI: Short-video application TikTok was back on Google Play Store and Apple App Store on Tuesday, a week after the Madras High Court lifted a stay on downloads of the popular Chinese app taking into account the safety features incorporated by its owner Beijing ByteDance Technology Co.

The court said that, while it was concerned about several incidents of women and children using cyberspace and becoming victims, it was “also aware of the fact that the millions of users are denied their rights to have access to the said platform which also promises several good things.”
