And TikTok may impact the mental health of adults, teens and children.

On the one hand, ByteDance has thumbed its nose at various nations'
laws/etc, but when caught, makes 'amends'.

But, "Citing national security issues the Indian Government banned
CapCut and TikTok along with 58 other Chinese apps on 29 June
2020.[145] The ban was made permanent in January 2021.[146][75] In
March 2021, the Indian government froze ByteDance's bank accounts in
the country for alleged tax evasion, which ByteDance disputed."
