After the USA and England, the Netherlands bans the use of "TikTok"

The Dutch government will ban the use of the Chinese video-sharing app "TikTok".

The Netherlands' 140,000 civil servants will only be able to use "approved apps," meaning "spy-sensitive apps" will no longer be allowed, Anadolu Agency reported .

"Recent parliamentary questions and international developments have led us to make a careful assessment that goes further than advising against an application," State Secretary Alexandra van Hufflen said in a letter to parliament.

According to the report, government services will also immediately start discouraging officials from installing the app on their phones, and soon all work phones will be set to only allow the installation of pre-approved apps.

The Netherlands' General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) recently warned of a "higher espionage risk" from countries with cyber programs targeting the Netherlands and its interests.

Similar rules have been adopted by the US, UK, Canada, Belgium, as well as EU institutions, where authorities have asked their officials to uninstall the app after security concerns that data could be accessed from China. CNA
