New Zealand, in turn, bans TikTok from its MPs
The list of countries that have decided to distance themselves from the Chinese social network TikTok is growing. After the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and also the European Commission, it is New Zealand’s turn to ban the app from its officials’ phones.
From March 31, the social network will no longer be present on devices provided to MPs. The ban will affect all devices that have access to the parliamentary network.
‘Unacceptable’ risks
The country’s MPs were told on Friday via an email sent by the Director General of the Parliamentary Service that security risks are “unacceptable in New Zealand’s current parliamentary environment”. “The decision to ban the TikTok app was made on the basis of our own analysis and after discussions with our colleagues in government and abroad,” said Rafael Gonzalez Montero, head of this service.
Parliamentarians should also, by the end of March, uninstall TikTok from their personal phones, as long as they also use it to access official apps, notes the New Zealand Herald, which is the first to report the information.
The ban will affect almost every political class in the country, as New Zealand news site Stuff reminds us that all political parties represented in Parliament have TikTok accounts except for the Labor Party. Last November, all military and civilian personnel working in New Zealand’s defense had already been ordered to uninstall TikTok from phones that had been issued to them by the government.
