All countries are BLOCKING this APP due to ESPIONAGE
The Netherlands and Norway have joined a growing list of countries that have recently issued orders banning the use of TikTok on government-issued devices, as concerns grow over the app’s privacy and security.
The Dutch interior ministry said on Tuesday it discouraged the use of all apps from “countries with an aggressive cyber-programme targeted at the Netherlands or Dutch interests” on phones distributed by the government.
The statement did not pinpoint TikTok by name, but the advice follows an assessment by the national intelligence agency AIVD that warned that apps from countries such as China, Russia, North Korea and Iran carried “a heightened risk of espionage”.
Norway’s justice minister, also recommended on Tuesday that government employees abstain from using TikTok on their work devices.
The European Union, The United States, Denmark, Belgium, and Canada have also recently issued orders prohibiting the use of banned TikTok. Experts fear sensitive information could be exposed when the app is downloaded, especially on government devices.
The video-sharing platform, which is owned by the Chinese company Bytedance, has long maintained that it does not share users' data with the Chinese government and that it is run independently.
