A Polish government advisory body has recommended prohibiting the use of the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok on the work phones of public administration employees.
“The Digitization Council expresses a positive opinion regarding the order to remove the Chinese TikTok application by public administration officials and employees from their work phones,” the website wyborcza.pl quoted it as saying.
The Council’s recommendations are not legally binding on the government.
TikTok has been banned by a number of Western governments and institutions in recent weeks, including the UK parliament, the Dutch and Belgian governments, and the New Zealand parliament.
