Jeff Bezos’ e-commerce giant Amazon has reportedly instructed all employees to delete the Chinese-owned video app TikTok from their cellphones over “security risks,” according to a company email. Employees that do not remove TikTok will lose the ability to access their Amazon email via their smartphone.
The New York Times reports that e-commerce giant Amazon has instructed its employees to delete the Chinese-owned video and social media app TikTok from their mobile devices over “security risks,” according to an email sent to employees this week. In the email, Amazon officials instructed employees to delete the app from any devices that “access Amazon email.”
Employees were told to remove the app by Friday of this week in order to remain able to obtain mobile access to their Amazon email. Amazon workers were told they still have permission to view TikTok from their laptop browser. The announcement comes just weeks after an iPhone update revealed that TikTok was spying on millions of Americans by viewing the contents of their iPhone clipboards.
TikTok is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance and has faced intense scrutiny in Washingtons for security reasons due to its ownership. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently advised all Americans not to download the app unless they want their private information to fall into “the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.” Pompeo stated on Monday that the Trump administration is considering blocking some Chinese apps, which he says are a threat to national security.
TikTok announced late on Monday that it would be withdrawing from Hong Kong where a new national security law from China was enacted. It was recently reported that TikTok has begun evaluating changes to the corporate structure of its business in order to avoid scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers.

Too late they have already infiltrated the “Minds Full of Mush” (thanks Rush) here in the US.
These idiots dont know what they are protesting and or talking about, just following the heard.
Shut it down, not ours who cares.
A surprise move by King Cuck.
“A surprise move by King Cuck.”
Bezos has been doing some conservative things lately. Maybe the guillotine placed out in front of his house in DC and the “Kill The Rich” signs at protest is making him think.
I’ve actually heard from friends in Cali that Amazon is nowhere near as bad as Facebook, Twitter and Apple. fwiw. They have described the latter as cults
With this move I suspect war with China is coming soon.
LOL!
Is there anything definitive that this app is no good?
I ask before I break my grand daughter’s heart. She has it on her device and I have it on my cell to stay in touch with her.
Show me something I can’t poke holes in?
Thanks.
