The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has announced the possibility of banning the social network “TikTok” completely in the European Union.
Von der Leyen was quoted by Politico as saying: “It’s not out of the question.”
The European Commission has become the first organization in the world to prevent its employees from installing “TikTok” on their work phones.
This warning comes after US President Joe Biden signed a bill passed by both houses of Congress, part of which was to ban “TikTok” if the company that owns it,” ByteDance”, does not sell its American business within nine months.
It has launched a long campaign against “TikTok” in the United States, based on fears of a possible link between the company and the Chinese government, and its interest in user security and the collection of personal data, although “TikTok” denies these accusations.
