tik takapplication of short videos bytedanceis once again the protagonist of controversy due to concerns that government agencies around the world have about its use as a measure China spy on other nations. European Commission decided to ban the installation and use of this platform on official mobile devices, which was the latest attempt to veto mobile phones in these conditions.
In a statement released last Thursday, Feb. 23, officials indicated that the measure would only apply to mobile devices under executive oversight. European Unionfurther mentioning that this is due to the general cybersecurity concern they have on the social network.
“This measure aims to protect the Commission from cybersecurity threats and activities that could be used to cyber-attack the organization’s corporate environment.”indicates a statement.
TikTok banned again by government agency
From my side, tik tak described the decision Commission European as “incorrect and based on fundamental misconceptions”, adding that she was “disappointed with the move”. The platform representative mentioned the network CNN that the company tried to contact the organization to “to bring clarity and explain how we protect the data of 125 million people around the world. European Union who visits tik tak every month”.
“We continue to improve our approach to data security, including the establishment of three data centers in Europe store user data locally; further reducing employee access to data; and minimize data flows outside of Europe”the representative said. Previously, tik tak showed the users of the specified continent that the employees of its headquarters in China accessed user data European Union.
TikTok in the sights of the world’s governments
Thierry Bretonindustry leader European Unionsaid “The commission’s corporate board of directors made this decision because they had reasons to do so” to the question of the ban tik tak on official mobile devices during the February 23 press conference. In addition, Breton mentioned that European Commission prioritizes cybersecurity without adding additional comments to the decision.
From my side, Sonya Gospodinovapress secretary European Unionemphasized that “the commission regularly issues recommendations on the use of various applications by staff” as well as a representative Eric Mamer said the following: “We constantly monitor the cybersecurity of the commission’s digital applications and our facilities and make decisions, and we do not publicize the rationale for these decisions for obvious reasons.”.
Undoubtedly, this decision complicates the situation tik tak before the governments of the world, as it has also been banned in various states USA. in previous months, and also on the grounds that there are fears that user data could be in the hands of Chinese government.
