European Commission staff have been banned from using the Chinese platform TikTok on both government-owned as well as many personal devices over spying concerns.
Officials from within the EU have reportedly banned staff from using the Chinese social media platform TikTok on a plurality of devices over apparent fears to do with the spying threat the app could pose.
It is the latest move from a Western power against the platform, with officials in both Europe and the United States having also implemented partial bans on the social media site, which is heavily linked to the Chinese Communist Party., an email was circulated to European Commission staff on Thursday morning informing them that they were to delete the app from all devices owned by the EU, as well as all personal devices that have work-related content on them.
“To protect Commission’s data and increase its cybersecurity, the EC Corporate Management Board has decided to suspend the TikTok application on corporate devices and personal devices enrolled in the Commission mobile device service,” the email sent to staff read. The communication goes on to warn staff that they have until March 15 to comply with the ban, with any device found to have the app installed on it after that date to be considered “non-compliant with the corporate environment”.
