India’s move to ban TikTok two and a half years ago was an “incredibly important precedent”, according to Brendan Carr, a senior Republican on the US Federal Communications Commission, according to a report by TechCrunch, which quoted Carr as saying that TikTok was “a sophisticated surveillance tool”.
