France will ban the use of TikTok on the work phones of civil servants, Civil Service Minister Stanislas Guerini said on his Twitter account.
“In order to guarantee the cybersecurity of our administrations and civil servants, the government has decided to ban recreational applications such as TikTok on the professional phones of civil servants,” he said in a statement.
He added that for several weeks, several of France’s European and international partners have adopted measures to restrict or ban the downloading and installation of the TikTok application by their administrations.
