Belgium bans TikTok for federal government employees

Belgian federal government employees will no longer be allowed to use the TikTok app on their work phones.

The news was announced by the Belgian Prime Minister, Alexander De Croo.

De Croo said the Belgian National Security Council had warned of the dangers associated with the large amounts of data collected by TikTok, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, and the fact that the company is required to cooperate with Chinese intelligence services. .

"This is why it makes sense to ban the use of TikTok on phones provided by the Federal Government. "The security of our information must prevail," he said.
