Due to concerns about cybersecurity, privacy, and misinformation, TikTok has been banned from government phones in Belgium following similar actions by Europe and the U.S.
The Belgian Prime Minister, Alexander De Croo, stated that the national security council had alerted them to the potential risks associated with TikTok’s data collection and the company’s obligation to cooperate with Chinese intelligence services, as it is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. According to a statement on De Croo’s website, the Chinese-owned app will not be allowed on devices owned or paid for by Belgium’s federal government for at least six months.
