UK: Social network TikTok banned from government devices


Following the US and European authorities, the UK decided to ban TikTok on all government devices. Decision on “immediate effect”Oliver Dowden, Minister of State, said in Parliament, arguing that this was for security reasons.

This statement was expected when the application is regularly accused of giving access to user data around the world to the Chinese authorities. What TikTok refutes.

“Unjustified attacks” according to China

Asked about this during a recent visit to the US, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the government was taking “serious device security”. “We also look at what our allies are doing”he added. In recent weeks, following in the footsteps of the US federal authorities, the European Commission and Parliament have already banned TikTok from their employees’ devices.
