TikTok owner to set up data centres in India

Chinese Internet technology company, Bytedance, has announced plans to establish local data centres in India. Bytedance is the company behind popular social media platforms TikTok and Helo. The company was recently issued a notice for these apps, by the Indian government, for allegedly misusing the platforms for “anti-national activities”. The apps were warned that they might face a ban if they fail to submit appropriate responses to the questions by July 22.

“We are now in the process of examining options for safe, secure and reliable services for our Indian users within India’s borders,” Bytedance announced via a press release.
