On 3 April, the Madras High Court directed the Centre to ban the download of TikTok as it voiced concern over “pornographic and inappropriate content” being made available through such platforms. In Wednesday’s verdict, a bench of justices N Kirubakaran and S S Sundar, which heard the matter as per the orders of the Supreme Court, warned if any controversial video violating its condition was found uploaded using the app, it would be considered a contempt of court.
