TikTok faces bans and deletions from major organizations and governments.

The BBC has advised its staff to delete TikTok from corporate phones due to concerns over privacy and security. The app has been banned on government phones in several countries, including the UK, US, Canada, New Zealand, and Belgium. The fear is that data harvested by the platform from corporate phones could be shared with the Chinese government by TikTok's parent company ByteDance, as its headquarters are in Beijing. The BBC will continue to use the platform for editorial and marketing purposes for now.
