UK Bans TikTok in Official Government Devices

Pada Kamis (16/3), otoritas Inggris mengatakan bahwa mereka melarang aplikasi milik Cina, Tiktok, dari ponsel pemerintah dengan alasan keamanan. Langkah tersebut serupa dengan apa yang dilakukan oleh AS dan Uni Eropa. Menteri Kantor Kabinet Oliver Dowden mengatakan kepada parlemen bahwa larangan tersebut akan segera berlaku untuk telepon kantor dan perangkat lain yang digunakan oleh menteri dan pegawai negeri.

Sementara itu, Tiktok menyatakan kekecewaannya atas keputusan tersebut. Salah satu juru bicara Tiktok mengatakan bahwa pihaknya yakin larangan tersebut didasarkan pada kesalahpahaman mendasar, dan didorong oleh geopolitik yang luas.

On Thursday (3/16), British authorities said that they are banning the Chinese-owned video-sharing app Tiktok from government mobile phones on security grounds, following similar steps taken by the U.S. and European Union. Cabinet Office Minister, Oliver Dowden, told the parliament that the ban applies with immediate effect to work phones, and other devices used by government ministers and civil servants. Tiktok expressed disappointment over the decision.

A spokesperson said that Tiktok believes the bans have been based on fundamental misconceptions, and driven by wider geopolitics, in which Tiktok and their millions of users in the UK play no part in.
