YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe European Commission suspended staff from using TikTok Inc. over security concerns related to the social media app’s data-collection practices.
Staff were ordered to delete the short-video app from mobile phones and corporate devices, including personal devices that use commission apps, a commission spokesperson confirmed on Thursday.
Western governments including the US and UK have become increasingly worried about TikTok’s potential national security risk, in light of concerns around its Chinese parent company, ByteDance Ltd. The EU suspension follows a decision by the US Congress at the end of last year to restrict TikTok from federal government devices.
“This measure aims to protect the Commission against cybersecurity threats and actions which may be exploited for cyberattacks against the corporate environment of the Commission,” the EU’s executive arm wrote in a statement.
