• France has announced that it is banning the recreational use of TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, and other mobile applications on government employees’ phones because of concerns about insufficient data security measures.
•  The move follows similar restrictions on TikTok in democratic countries amid fears about the popular video-sharing app’s Chinese connections.
• The ban will be monitored by France’s cybersecurity agency. The decision came after other governments across the globe took measures targeting TikTok.
• The US, Britain, the European Union, and others have already banned TikTok on government phones.
