TikTok and Helo promise to collaborate after India threatens ban

Chinese video sharing apps have run into trouble in India, yet again. Yesterday (July 17), the cyber laws and e-security arm of the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) sent a notice to TikTok and Helo raising concerns about anti-Indian and unlawful activities occurring on the app, industry sources told Quartz. The ministry has sent a series of queries around data collection and storage and warned that, if the apps fail to respond by July 22, they may face serious actions, which may include a ban.
