TikTok banned on UK government devices over security concerns.

The UK government has banned the use of TikTok on government corporate devices due to concerns over cybersecurity and data privacy. The ban will not extend to personal devices for government employees, and exemptions for work purposes will be granted on a case-by-case basis with security mitigations put in place. The move follows similar bans in the US and EU, with lawmakers expressing concerns over user data being sent to China and getting into the hands of the government in Beijing. TikTok has highlighted its efforts to protect user data and is working with US firm Oracle to store all US data on its cloud.
