SAN FRANCISCO - Amazon workers were given a Friday deadline to dump the TikTok mobile application because of unspecified security concerns, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The concern appeared to be that the TikTok mobile app could access Amazon company email, according to a copy of an internal message posted online. "While Amazon did not communicate to us before sending their email, and we still do not understand their concerns, we welcome a dialogue so we can address any issues they may have and enable their team to continue participating in our community.

However, with its rising popularity in the United States, TikTok has also come under increasing scrutiny from the government here.
