TikTok email ‘a mistake’

AMAZON said it mistakenly sent an email to employees telling them to delete the popular video app TikTok from their phones.

“This morning’s email to some employees was sent in error. There is no change to our policies right now with regard to TikTok,” Amazon said in an emailed statement.

Amazon had told employees to delete the popular video app from phones on which they use Amazon email, citing “security risks” from the China-owned service.
