” In 2020, India imposed a ban on TikTok and dozens of other Chinese apps, including the messaging app WeChat, over privacy and security concerns.

The companies were given a chance to respond to questions on privacy and security requirements but the ban was made permanent in January 2021.”
That is 1.4 billion people.
