(Brussels = Yonhap News) Correspondent Bitna Jeong = The European Parliament has decided to ban the use of the Chinese video-sharing platform TikTok app, Reuters reported on the 28th (local time), citing officials.

A European Union (EU) official explained that the ban on the use of TikTok was applied to all employees of the European Parliament for work, as well as personal devices that receive parliament-related emails or access other networks.

This is a follow-up measure following the decision by the European Commission on the 23rd to ban the use of TikTok for the first time in the EU.

This is also an extension of the fact that countries, mainly the West, are taking steps to ‘withdraw’ TikTok for cybersecurity reasons.

In the United States, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced the previous day that all agencies of the federal government would be able to use TikTok on all devices and systems within 30 days, following the passage of a bill by Congress in December last year that would prevent federal agency employees from using TikTok on government-owned devices. I was instructed to delete it.

Canada, Japan, etc. also made the same decision for government public devices, and the Danish parliament also sent an email to all lawmakers and employees on the same day strongly recommending that they delete the TikTok app installed on their work devices, the Associated Press reported.
