Amazon tells workers to delete TikTok from devices they use for work

Amazon, citing security risks, told its employees Friday to uninstall social video app TikTok from any mobile devices they use to access their work email.

Why it matters: The move comes amid a broader backlash against TikTok, in part due to questions around possible ties to Beijing. TikTok is owned by Chinese tech firm ByteDance.


What they're saying: "Due to security risk, the TikTok app is no longer permitted on mobile devices that access Amazon email," Amazon said in the note, which was seen by Axios.

  • The note said for the time being workers can still access TikTok via the browser on their work laptops.
  • An Amazon representative was not immediately available for comment.
