The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak from China has created multiple disruptions around the world leading to disputes with Chinese startups and businesses. Almost every country is going through turmoil which is expanding vastly to many industries, although with the help of the internet a lot of digital startups have in fact blossomed. TikTok/Douyin is a Chinese social networking service via sharing video. The company is owned by ByteDance, a Beijing based internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. TikTok has come a long way without making any profits and created a trustworthy & engaging network in many countries such as India, Australia, US and many more. Furthermore, TikTok currently hosts a lot of videos, images, graphics data similar to Facebook, Google and other bigger platforms which have apps, web pages, emails, socialisation etc. TikTok app is highly compatible with most smartphones and caters to a wide demographic audience. Users have rarely reported any bugs and have never reported downtime due to server issues. However, TikTok has been highly targeted in all major countries not due to bugs or issues but only because it is a “Chinese” startup. Banning an application might/not make a difference (time will tell) but evolving positively with time definitely will.
