TikTok has been banned from the work phones of people who work for the Welsh Government. It comes after the UK Government announced it was doing the same earlier on Thursday.
The decision has been made after a review by the National Cyber Security Centre failed to rule out that sensitive data held on official phones could be accessed by the Chinese government through Chinese-owned TikTok.
The move has been called “precautionary” by government officials, and the Welsh Government confirmed on Thursday afternoon that it will be “implementing fully” the TikTok ban. It said it was still reviewing its own use of the Welsh Government TikTok account.
