Business Maverick: European Commission Blocks Staff From Using TikTok

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.

“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 European Union’s executive arm wrote in a statement. A commission spokesperson said it’s also informed other EU institutions about the suspension and that the decision was not the result of any pressure from the US.

TikTok is creating three data centers in Europe to store data locally, reduce employees’ access to data and minimize data flows outside Europe, the spokesperson added.
