Antanas Aleknavičius, head of the Cybersecurity and Information Technology Policy Team of the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defense, said that the agency has published a review of the Chinese social networking app TikTok and recommends it not be used. It has been reported TASS.
“As the product comes from a region that we do not consider reliable suppliers, we recommend that you do not download this application and delete it if it has already been done,” Aleknavičius said.
According to him, there are currently no plans to ban the social network in Lithuania. In this case, we are talking about the protection of personal data.
According to him, according to Chinese law, information about users collected by the TikTok network can be used by Chinese intelligence.
Former Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning surprised US fear of TikTok. At the briefing, he urged Washington not to generalize the concept of national security.
