TikTok is now looking to re-enter India and re-hire its former employees. According to an Economic Times <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/bytedance-in-talks-with-hiranandani-group-looks-to-rehire-former-employees-sources/articleshow/91923365.cms">report</a>, TikTok’s parent company ByteDance is reportedly looking to re-enter India. The company reportedly wants to enter India by joining forces with a domestic firm with an intention to avoid the government’s scrutiny. ByteDance had shut operations in 2021, nearly a year after being banned in India. The company is now reportedly in talks with Mumbai’s realty major Hiranandani Group to strike a partnership. The Hiranandani Group runs data centre operations under the Yotta Infrastructure Solutions and recently launched Tez Platforms, a technology-led consumer services platform. The company is looking to invest INR 3,500 crore in the next two years in its latest venture. While the talks are at a nascent stage, the company is not looking to ruffle any feathers and has informally informed the central government about its intentions of re-entering India with a local partner. “There have been no formal talks with us yet. But we have been informed of the plans. As and when they come to us for approvals, we will examine their request,” a senior government official familiar with the matter told ET. It’s not clear if ByteDance is looking to partner with the Hiranandani Group’s new venture Tez Platforms or is hoping to store its data in the Yotta Infrastructure Solutions’ data centres. Storing user data locally has been one of the major demands of the government. “Critical user data should not be stored outside India. All apps and websites have either made provisions to store data locally or are making necessary changes to their data storage and processing policies. If they (Tiktok) come back, they will have to follow these norms,” an official familiar with the matter told ET. While officials in the government have confirmed that they have been informed about ByteDance’s plans, TikTok is not confirming its plans. The company informed ET that while the company is hopeful about resuming operations, it had no plans to resume operations in India, as of now. India was one of the biggest markets for TikTok and the company employed over 2,000 people in the country during its peak. While most of these employees have been let go, some of the employees were handed other responsibilities.

The first is editing messages after the recipient has read them or replied to them. This can be used to misinterpret messages or manipulate conversations.

A bench headed by acting chief Vipin Sanghi <a href="https://www.barandbench.com/news/litigation/breaking-put-those-not-wearing-masks-in-planes-on-no-fly-list-delhi-high-court-to-dgca">reportedly</a> directed the DGCA to come up with guidelines to punish passengers who do not wear a mask or follow COVID protocols such as hand hygiene norms at the airport or while flying on the plane. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Suo moto petition by Justice C Hari Shankar" comment="subhead" text="Suo moto petition by Justice C Hari Shankar">Suo moto petition by Justice C Hari Shankar</cmsannotation> The Delhi HC was hearing a suo motu petition filed by Justice C Hari Shankar. Suo moto is Latin for “on its own motion”, meaning a call taken by the court itself without a petition being filed by any person or authority. The petition was filed after the justice noticed passengers refusing to wear <keyword id="9418" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="masks" source="Orion">masks</keyword> and follow COVID protocols during his Kolkata to Delhi flight in March 2021. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Punishments include heavy fines and no-fly list" comment="subhead" text="Punishments include heavy fines and no-fly list">Punishments include heavy fines and no-fly list</cmsannotation> The Delhi High Court has directed the DGCA to issue guidelines and direct its staff at airports, flights, pilots and others to take strict action against passengers flouting the norms. The court has asked the DGCA to punish these passengers by fining them and placing them on the no-fly list. The court has added that violators should be “physically removed” from the plane if need be. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What is a no-fly list?" comment="subhead" text="What is a no-fly list?">What is a no-fly list?</cmsannotation> A no-fly list is essentially a list of unruly passengers who have been deemed unsafe to fly. It was introduced in India after Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad allegedly assaulted an Air India staff over seat allocation. The persons on the list are banned from flying, either for a specified period or permanently, based on the investigation conducted by the authorities. The counsel for DGCA informed the court that COVID protocols have not been diluted and the authorities have issued proper directions to implement the guidelines.
