The issue of replaceability of source and substitutability of app will not allow to reap the desired benefits from the ban.

Why TikTok Ban Won't Suffice In India

On the directions of the Honourable courts, the government, MeitY, had asked Google and apple to pull down the TikTok app from their respective stores. This was after increasing unfavourable sentiments across a section of society about the abuse and misuse of such platforms and its far-reaching impact on the youth and children.

However, there are some markets and technical realities which will not make the intent effective on the ground and the possible issues and concerns will continue to bother people, especially increasingly worrying parents.

Sharing the techINSIGHT, Faisal Kawoosa, Founder and Chief analyst, techARC said, “There is a need to have a holistic approach to get rid of such increasing digital menace, which cannot be absolved by technology and/or legal recourse alone.”

Below are some of the major concerns that will restrict the impact of the ban and subsequent removal of the app from the respective market places.
