The US Army has banned the use of the hugely popular short video app TikTok by its soldiers, calling it a security threat.
The Army has joined the Navy in barring the use of the app on government-owned phones, following bipartisan calls from lawmakers for regulators and the intelligence community to determine whether the Chinese-owned app presents a threat to national security and could be used to collect American citizens' personal data. Military.com was the first to report on the decision.
" The senators added in their October letter to the acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire that"there is no legal mechanism for Chinese companies to appeal if they disagree with a request."TikTok responded with a statement, saying that it stores all US user data in the United States and backs it up in Singapore."Our data centers are located entirely outside of China, and none of our data is subject to Chinese law," the company said at the time.
