The European Commission Banned Employees From Using TikTok

The European Commission has instructed its employees to remove the TikTok app from their personal and business phones for security reasons, Politico reported.

It is expected that other EU institutions, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament, will take similar steps in the near future.

TikTok, a social network owned by a Chinese tech company, is raising national security concerns in some countries, especially when a study by cyber security company Internet 2.0 reported that the app collects more data than any other social network or messaging service.

Previously, the US also banned the use of TikTok on devices used for public services.
