TikTok was banned in India due to concerns over national sovereignty and security following military clashes with China. The Indian government viewed the app as harmful to its citizens' data privacy and security. Similarly, Iran's ban on TikTok was due to concerns about "immoral" content, although it was later lifted with stricter content moderation by TikTok​​​​​​. Apart from this, TikTok is available in most countries around the world, but there are still safety concerns with the platform. That’s why it’s always recommended to use a VPN to secure your connection. Just be sure that you’re not using TikTok in a location where it’s banned to avoid getting in trouble.
