The European Parliament has told staff to purge TikTok from devices used for work because of data protection concerns, after similar moves by the EU's main governing bodies last week. The move follows scores of countries worldwide that have restricted use of the social media app.
The president of the EU Parliament, Roberta Metsola, wrote in an email sent to some 8,000 EP staffers that TikTok should not be used or installed on staff devices such as mobile phones, tablets or laptops as of 20 March.
