TikTok ban likely if spying claims proven true–NSA

National Security Adviser Eduardo Año said that a total ban on TikTok in the Philippines is possible if the social media platform is proven to be used by China for espionage and cyberattacks.

“We are not yet saying that TikTok will be banned in the Philippines. We will first go to governments and offices involved in security matters. If we see any other development, we will adjust,” Año said. “We assigned Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya to submit a report on how we will draft this memo or policy to guarantee the protection of our data, our digital system, because the recent hackings are troubling,” he said.Reports said the NSC had studied the possibility of banning TikTok among the government’s uniformed personnel to avoid a possible data leak.
