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.
