Wasn't it a good timely decision by the Modi government in hindsight to ban TikTok in India after witnessing how TikTok and Red note has become a headache for the government in the US to deal with?

India's TikTok ban sparked by a border conflict with China, led to a swift removal of the app from India.
In addition to data security issues, there were concerns about the nature of the content on TikTok. Critics argued that the app was being used to spread inappropriate or harmful material, particularly content that could negatively impact young people. These concerns were compounded by TikTok’s algorithm, which some argued promoted extreme and controversial content to generate views and engagement.
Maybe it is a good timely decision by Modi government to Ban tik tok in India, but it would be a better and dutiful decision and action to the nation and the poor people of India, to throw out the Chinese army occupying Indian territories at LAC.
The Modi government expressed concerns that TikTok posed a threat to the privacy of its users. There were fears that user data, which could include sensitive personal information, could be shared with the Chinese government.
