The United Kingdom banned TikTok from official government devices on Thursday, adding to similar restrictions imposed by allies in Canada, the European Union and the United States.

The social media app is not widely used by UK officials, according to a government announcement, but the measure reflects concerns about TikTok’s links to China through its parent company, ByteDance, and the possibility that the Chinese government could pressure the companies to hand over users’ personal information. “This is a proportionate move based on a specific risk with government devices,” UK Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Dowden told lawmakers Thursday.

It has also said that it has not received any request from the Chinese government for user information and would resist such calls. The UK announcement comes a day after TikTok said the US government had requested the company’s Chinese owners sell their shares or else risk a ban. In December, President Joe Biden signed legislation prohibiting TikTok on federal government devices, joining what has become a list of more than half of US states.

Why would u allowed TikTok on a Gov Device anyways in the 1st place?

AI has been used to harass and manipulate regular people and nobody is talking about it. police laugh if you try to report it.

What about the Facebook app? even more dangerous, u can log into facebook look out for Vice admiral Roltz of the US forces, find out who he had a meeting with and what was said!? u can even track where the Admiral is busy operationally?!!! indangering💥 the country!🙊 🛳️🚢

Imagine trying to tell foreign companies how to do their jobs?

Remember when Trump warned us about Tik Tok and all of you called him racist.

Good move, the app consumes much time,

Never had it before

Looks like TikTok's reputation is spreading faster than their dance challenges.

So now they are called allies ? no more partnerships i assume ?

Trump was right again. Remember when the pedophile/groomer party was calling him racist for his views on TikTok…
