The U.K. has become the latest jurisdiction to ban social video app TikTok from Government devices, confirming reports that surfaced earlier this week.

The ban follows a security review ordered by U.K. ministers looking to establish whether Government data could be compromised from social networks installed on work devices. Indeed, the review did include other social media apps, but the Government has decided on a “precautionary ban” for TikTok only — likely because its use is limited in Governmental roles, compared to something like Twitter.
