Here are all the countries that have partially or completely banned TikTok
The list of countries banning TikTok has been growing, with Australia latest to join the list. With this, Australia has joined other Western countries in banning the use of TikTok on government devices as the Chinese-owned video app comes under increasing pressure over security concerns. A notice issued by the Attorney General’s Department said that TikTok poses security and privacy risks due to the “extensive collection of user data and exposure to extrajudicial directions from a foreign government that conflict with Australian law.”
On its part, TikTok, owned by Chinese technology company Bytedance, has long maintained that it doesn’t share data with the Chinese government.
