State agencies and private businesses banning TikTok app after warning

Following last week’s warning by the National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB), Czech ministries, state agencies as well as private businesses are beginning to forbid their employees from using the Chinese TikTok social media app while they are at work. This according to a survey conducted by the Czech News Agency. Czechia’s Office of Government has meanwhile cancelled its TikTok account.

According to NÚKIB, TikTok represents a security threat. Similar warnings were voiced in the United States last year.
