Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok is expected to be banned from United Kingdom government phones, on security grounds.

British media reported that Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Dowden will give a statement to MPs later.

The move comes after several countries, including the US, Denmark and Canada, issued orders banning the app.

While TikTok denied sharing user data with the Chinese government, intelligence laws require firms to help the Communist Party when requested.
