Britain's parliament will block TikTok on all devices on its network following a similar ban on government devices, becoming the latest Western institution to bar the Chinese-owned video app over security concerns.
A TikTok spokesperson called the action "misguided", saying it was based on fundamental misconceptions about the company.
The United States, Canada, Belgium and the European Commission have already banned the app from official devices. The spokesperson added that the company had begun implementing a plan to further protect its European user data, which includes storing UK user data in its European data centres and tightening data access controls.
