TikTok distances from Beijing in response to India app ban

TikTok owned by China's ByteDance has sought to distance itself from its Chinese roots to appeal to a global audience.

"I can confirm that the Chinese government has never made a request to us for the TikTok data of Indian users," TikTok Chief Executive Kevin Mayer wrote, adding that data for Indian users is stored in servers in Singapore. "If we do ever receive such a request in the future, we would not comply."
