The Danish defence ministry has joined other western countries in banning the use of the Chinese short video platform TikTok on official mobile phones and other devices.
The ministry said the use of the platform is prohibited for security reasons, but also because the app is only required to a very limited extent for employees’ work.
It advised employees who have installed TikTok on their work cell phones or other work devices to delete the app as soon as possible.

The ministry said that the ban followed a recommendation by the Danish Centre for Cyber Security (CFCS), which recently advised against using TikTok on government devices.
The country’s justice and climate and energy ministries are said to have already banned the app, according to Danish media reports.
The short video service from the Chinese ByteDance group has also been banned from company cell phones in other western countries such as the U.S., Canada and by the Latvian foreign ministry.
