The European Commission (EC), the executive branch of the European Union, has prohibited the use of TikTok on devices that it owns and has asked its employees to remove the app from their personal phones and tablets that are part of its mobile device service. The directive applies to any devices that are used for work purposes. According to the EC, the measure aims to protect against cybersecurity threats and actions that could be exploited for cyber attacks against the corporate environment of the Commission.
