Is There Life After a TikTok Ban? A Nation Goes Into Withdrawal (WSJ)

There was a recent article in the WSJ titled “Is There Life After a TikTok Ban? A Nation Goes into Withdrawal.” The article talks about India’s ban on TikTok (because of privacy concerns with China), and how it has had wide-ranging impacts for people all throughout the country.
