Google Delete Millions Of Negative Tik Tok Reviews

I am sure by now you have probably heard of the app called Tik Tok and you will have seen videos from there posted online but recently it has come under fire from more of the mature users.

Tik Tok is an app that lets you create short videos for you to share with your friends and a lot of random people online. It was a remake of the popular video-sharing app called vine and then was brought in to musically it is kind of a combination of both. Recently Google decided to delete millions of negative reviews from its play store because they have got some sort of partnership and they want to protect the image of the app.

Google spoke out about this and said they deleted them because they were all fake and that they were not real reviews of the app. This started because of a feud in the Indian community on the app and how one user of the app ( Amir Siddique with 3.4 Million Followers ) called out Youtube creators about how they roast Tik Tok creators.  

These reviews made the app rating of Tik Tok drop from 4.5 to 1.2 in just a few days which is catastrophic. After Google deleted all of these 1-star reviews all they had to say was that it was corrective action. They did not delete 2-star views just all of the 1-star reviews for over 5 million reviews, the worst thing is this is not the only controversy that has happened on Tik Tok.

There have been lots of accounts of pedophiles and lots of cyberbullying and people talking to underaged children on these apps. You can also message other people on this app so if you or any of your friend's children have got this app I would suggest you check what they post as a lot of the content on there can be very seductive for younger people.

This has always been a very strange app and I have never been fond of it because of the seductive nature of the dances and the fact that people of all ages have this app and there are people out there in this world that would use this app for a negative reason.

Google deleted the reviews of this app to try and keep the image of this app as positive as possible because of the amount of the number of users that this app brings in. This will bring lots of revenue for google so they have to protect the image of this app so they can keep this revenue stream coming.

Please stay safe whilst using apps online and check to see what your children are doing on this app and what they have posted or shared with people. 

Stay frosty much love IFB :)
