The BBC Calls for Staff to Remove TikTok from Corporate Devices
The TikTok bans continue to pile up, with the BBC in the UK issuing a directive to staff to restrict their use of the app, and only install TikTok on a BBC corporate device if there’s a ‘justified business reason’ for such.
As you can see in this screenshot, shared by social media expert Matt Navarra, the BBC is advising staff that if they don’t need TikTok for work purposes, it should be deleted from their corporate device completely. As such, the BBC isn’t banning TikTok outright – and worth noting that the BBC account on TikTok has over 4.4 million followers, and posts every other day. But it is looking to limit potential exposure in the app, in line with the UK Government’s decision to ban the app from all government devices last week.
