TikTok Still Blocked: Government Sources On Buzz About Ban Being Lifted

TikTok is still blocked in India, government sources said this evening after several users reported that they could access the website of the video streaming platform. "The government of India has not issued any unblocking order for TikTok. Any such statement or news is false and misleading," they said. While the website was accessible for some users, they were unable to log in or upload or watch videos. The app of the China-based platform was also not available on app stores. Internet service providers continue to block the website, said the sources in the Department of Telecom, making it unclear how it was accessible to some. Meanwhile, online shopping platform AliExpress was also working for users at the time of publishing this article.
