More governments look to ban TikTok

The European Parliament on Tuesday banned the use of social media app TikTok on staff devices and recommended that MEPs delete it from their phones.

Hot on the heels of the US and Canada - the European Parliament announced it was banning its MEPs and their staff from using TikTok on official devices and strongly advised them to delete it from the personal ones. The popular video-sharing app is owned by Chinese tech firm ByteDance and has become the focus of mounting security and data protection fears.
