THE BBC HAS urged staff to delete TikTok from any corporate devices unless they are using it for editorial and marketing reasons.
A BBC spokesperson said: “The BBC takes the safety and security of our systems, data and people incredibly seriously. The move is a sharp change for the broadcaster which has launched multiple pages on the app in a bid to reach new audiences. TikTok said it was “disappointed” with the BBC’s decision and said bans were based on “fundamental misconceptions and driven by wider geopolitics”.
