TikTok has crossed 50 crores monthly active users as per a report released in July this year. This is a very very large number for any social media platform worldwide. TikTok is quite popular in India. In India, many people have given their lives to TikTok.

Let me tell you that TikTok has over 300 million subscribers in India. It has 120 million-plus daily active users. This is the fastest moving video platform in India. This platform is very popular in both urban and rural India.
In this platform users use their creativity and self produce video and share it in a group. Many users have a huge fan following and they called TikTok Stars. The decision for not promoting political ads is a big decision from the authorities.
I hope other platforms like Facebook and Google will also follow the same trend. They will help people to make their own political decision instead of influencing them.
