TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance Ltd, is under scrutiny from governments and regulators because of concerns that Beijing could use its app to harvest users’ data or advance its interests. Canada has also accused China of trying to influence its elections and of running surveillance activities, allegations that are denied by Beijing.
The European Union’s two biggest policy-making institutions have banned TikTok from staff phones, while the U.S. Senate in December passed a bill to bar federal employees from using the app on government-owned devices.
