London: First the US asked to ban Tik Tok, then a week ago the European Union specifically banned its use by civil servants and officials, and now the pressure has shifted to the UK. The reason behind all this is that TikTok can or is giving their data to Chinese government agencies.
It should be noted that several months ago, 26 US states banned Tik Tok, a week ago the European Union officially issued an order that all government employees remove this app from their phones, and now this pressure is also in the UK. It has started to buzz.
But according to analysts, the US government is still reviewing various aspects of Tik Tok and Tik Tok may be permanently banned in the US. Then, after the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, it has become more heated.
A week earlier, on February 24, the European Union’s executive IT service asked civil servants across the EU to immediately delete the TikTok app from their phones to protect data.
