Biden’s campaign bans all staffers from using Tiktok
WASHINGTON: Staffers of the US presidential campaign of presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden have been instructed to delete the Chinese videosharing app Tiktok from their personal and work phones, according to reports.
Citing security and privacy concerns, Biden campaign’s general counsel Dana Remus wrote to staffers to “refrain from downloading and using Tiktok on work and personal devices”, according to Bloomberg.
The stricture came as US Congress was on the verge passing a bill forbidding federal employees from using Tiktok on government-issued devices.
The Trump administration is also weighing an outright ban on the popular app, which India has already done, and other Chinese apps.
