Amazon Tells Employees to Delete TikTok From Mobile Devices on Security Concerns

Amazon.com Inc. is requiring its hundreds of thousands of employees to remove the TikTok app from mobile devices that can access the company’s email system due to unspecified security risks, the latest high-profile instance in which the app has faced backlash in the U.S.

Amazon said in a staff memo Friday that employees must delete TikTok by Friday to be able to continue accessing their email from their phones. The e-commerce giant said that at this time employees can still use TikTok from an Amazon laptop browser.

Democracy and freedom are essential for people. Please stop China dictatorship. China passed NationalSecurityLaw in Hong Kong. China will destroy democracy and freedom of entire world soon. CCP_is_terrorist

Bezos can’t handle the competition 😉

I’m like in awe that Amazon is sticking up for us! I so prefer to pick my own predators! awakening

The retracted the email sighting it was sent in error

Amazon hates getting 'Alexa-ed.' Funny how that works.

Smart

these trade wars are pathetic

Good decision

Any app can access some kind of personal data, and on ChineseApps the govt can get to the data on broadly defined public security grounds. But hmm here Amazon and ByteDance are competing for the same FacialRecognition training data, and guess who's winning?

AOC is gonna have a moment again lol 😝

They should also consider WeChat as unsafe, probably even more so

See

Good, they should remove Tik Tok. Chinese companies are nothing but an extension of the Chinese Communist Party

Haha. And they say human right is vitally important in other countries. In U.S. human have no right.

TiktokBan has a lot to do with it's successful influence during BlackLivesMatter movement & nothing to do with 'security'. Make sure every app installed on your phone obtain the 'permission' to share data from the 'host', which is Apple & Google. So we should be banning who

Good

Ok, I think TikTok is really dangerous for a variety of reasons but this would only make me remove my amazon email from my phone. iOS and android need to deal with invasive apps.

remove personal phones while working

No one that uses tiktok works.

I don't know about a company trying to enforce what apps you have on your phone however I do think people should start to consider removing lots of apps from their phones for privacy reasons twitter included in that

Well done! Good for the business in general!

Amazon Bans TikTok From Employee Phones Over Security ConcernsAmazon, which has about 840,000 employees worldwide, has told company staff to delete TikTok from their phones because of potential security risks, Variety has confirmed. TikTok, the short-form vid… Hmmm 🤔 I guess Amazon Alexa secretly listening to our conversations in the room is not a security concern? I am not a TikTok user but the logic that these corrupt politicians and media use against it is lame. If they are concerned w/ govs spying on Americans, that goes for ALL social media. Also I am sure it has nothing to do w/ many TikTok viral stuff being politically left... I'm surprised given their commitment to carrying every possible product made in China. This is a blatant political move.
