@ub1ub2media: In a statement to parliament, Mr Dowden said there "could" be a risk to how government data and information is used by the app. He said that while TikTok use is "limited", banning it is good cyber "hygiene" - and brings the UK in line with the US, Canada and the EU. The video-sharing app has been under increasing scrutiny over its security and data privacy, with concerns it could be used to promote pro-Beijing views or gather user data - something TikTok strongly denies. The cabinet office said the move was being taken because TikTok users are required to hand over data including contacts, user content and geolocation data (via @bbcnews) #UB1UB2 #London
