Gunning for TikTok

All for a ban

Definitely TikTok should be banned because of its Chinese origin and yes, of course, we are using it for our entertainment purpose. It’s a popular social medium but since China has been irresponsible in handling the corona situation and handling a lot of other things and allegedly all this was planned by them to destroy the economy of the world, I think I would definitely support this ban.

Ban will have no effect on corona

Coronavirus that originated from Wuhan in China was not because they were making TikTok videos. A virus mutates and attacks humans in general, not a particular ethnicity or caste or religion or colour. So, let’s not call for unnecessary bans, which will have no effect on corona. People are enjoying their space on TikTok making entertaining videos. So, let’s be practical and do what’s necessary to stay safe. – Kettan Singh

What about other products?

I haven’t used TikTok much. So, the ones who are using it would be the right people to comment. However, if it’s entertaining us in this difficult phase, there’s no harm. We have so many things that are made in China that if we ban or refrain from using all of them, we will be left with very few things. This also should make us realise that we need to value apps made in India. – Shweta Rohira

No blame-game please!

It is mean to say that because it started from China, so China spread COVID 19. I don’t think any country would do this intentionally. It’s just that the virus originated from there. We shouldn’t be blaming anybody. Instead, we should be following all the safety precautions. Also, it would be a very mean thing to stop using TikTok because it has its origin in China. I think we should keep using the application. – Jasmin Bhasin
