Employees have 30 days to get TikTok off their work phones
Thousands of employees who work for New York City have 30 days to delete TikTok from their Government-owned devices after security concerns were raised by a number of other major US conurbations and states. The video sharing platform is used by 150million of America's 330million population, but is owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance.
Those working for NYC agencies are now required to remove the app within 30 days and employees will lose access to the app and its website on city-owned devices and networks. In reaction to the ban, TikTok said it: "Has not shared, and would not share, U.S. user data with the Chinese government, and has taken substantial measures to protect the privacy and security of TikTok users."
Attempts to ban the hugely popular app are not a new thing, with the UK banning Government devices from having TikTok back in March. TikTok requires users to give permission for the app to access data stored on the device, which is then collected and stored by the company, British officials said. Adding: "Allowing such permissions gives the company access to a range of data on the device, including contacts, user content, and geolocation data.
