The TikTok spokesperson quickly came out to the crossroads and expressed his “disappointment” by the measure of the European organization: “We are disappointed with this decision, which we believe is wrong and rests on fundamental misunderstandings.”
“We have contacted the Commission to make things clear and explain how we protect the data of the 125 million people across the EU who visit TikTok every month,” he added.
Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for Industry, assured that the European Commission I take into account cybersecurity and the protection of people’s data “who work” in the institution.
The ban is added to the decision of the United States government in 2022, which determined that the app must not be used on federal government devices. In addition, some North American legislators seek to ban the app throughout the country.
