The government should “seriously consider” banning the use of the Chinese social media app TikTok for security officials, Jonathan Malaya,

Malaya said several countries–including the United States and New Zealand–earlier banned TikTok on government-issued devices over concerns that the Chinese Communist Party can use the social media app for spying or propaganda.

The official however clarified that the NSC has yet to conduct a full study on whether or not TikTok in the Philippines is being used for propaganda, amid the continuing tensions in the West Philippine Sea. Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesperson Col. Medel Aguilar earlier said the AFP had already “initiated professional measures so that the AFP can be insulated from the spyware in these kinds of applications.”

There are certain instances in military camps where officials and visitors are required to surrender their mobile devices, while there are also areas where the recording of footage is prohibited, he added.
