TikTok has been effectively banned on official Government devices following security concerns.
As previously reported by the Irish Mirror, assessments were being carried out into the safety of the app after it was removed from official devices in other jurisdictions. A Government spokesperson confirmed the National Cyber Security Centre had conducted a “technical assessment”.
They added: “Its advice is that TikTok should not be installed or used on official public sector devices, save in exceptional cases where there is a business need.
