Google has deleted millions of negative TikTok reviews from its Play store after the app's rating fell from 4.5 to 1.2 stars overnight. The video-sharing platform was inundated with one-star reviews after an Indian creator posted a spoof video of an acid attack. Faizal Siddiqui has apologised, and TikTok has deleted copies of his clip. But Google intervened after it determined that critics had set up fake accounts to amplify their protests. Even so, the move has had limited effect, and TikTok's rating remains below two stars on the official Android marketplace. The video in question had appeared to show Mr Siddiqui threatening a woman who had decided to leave him. In the clip, he threw liquid at the woman's face. It was water, but the next scene showed the woman's face covered in make-up that resembled the scars and bruising that acid might cause. “As per the policy, we do not allow content that risks the safety of others, promotes physical harm, or glor...

Still, there’s nothing stopping someone from carefully calculating that move -- and making it happen. Many entrepreneurs have found success by growing their  side hustles  -- defined as a gig on the side that has turned into something more. In fact, a ...
