Tiktok's previous bans

Earlier in April 2019, TikTok was briefly banned in India by the Madras High Court for hosting 'pornographic and sleazy' content. Recently millions of Indian users had also millions of Indians called for a ban on the app after videos promoting violence against women went viral, with NCW chief Rekha Sharma seeking a total ban on it. Zoom too had been called out for security issues, with the government then issuing a notification for safe usage of the application.

Modern geography goes far beyond description; it seeks to explain where phenomena occur, why they occur there, how they are spatially distributed, and how they change over time. Geography is regarded as a spatial science , an environmental science , and an integrative discipline because it bridges natural sciences, social sciences, and geospatial technologies. Nature The nature of geography refers to the characteristics and fundamental features that define the discipline. 1. Geography as a Spatial Science Terminology: Spatial Science A discipline concerned with the location, distribution, arrangement, organization, and interaction of phenomena in ...
