Amazon ordered employees to delete TikTok from their phones today, citing "security risks."

Amazon's email to employees did not specify what security risks the company is worried about or whether TikTok has already caused a security problem internally. Last month, we reported on research that found TikTok's app was able to read clipboard data on iOS devices. TikTok said it will stop accessing users' clipboards.
