UK has not ruled out a full ban on TikTok, minister says

The Independent says The UK has not ruled out a full ban on TikTok, the security minister has suggested.

The app has faced a range of bans in countries across the world, including the US and Europe, where it has been banned from official devices. In other countries such as India, the app has been banned entirely, for all users.

The UK is considering implementing either one of those bans, and is looking into the “threats” and “risks” posed by the Chinese-owned app, a minister has said.

Tom Tugendhat said on Tuesday he is awaiting a review from the National Cyber Security Centre before deciding on the “hugely important question”.
