TikTok was very quickly identified as Malware-as early as January people were warned against using it, but the government and big business never got involved. Now, after the Trump rally where he was humiliated by a million teenagers, its an issue?

This app is racists! it burries muslim creators content so no one can see it. they’ll shadow banned if Ur muslim so Ur contents won’t reach anywhere. by the way this app could be good but it’s just terrible. people dancing half naked get more attention than people educated others

No evidence?no clue?USB is making lies. I will require my employees to remove all their American App and abandon Apple mobile devices.

RIP TikTok ..bye

It turns out the email is send in error.

Unfortunately I will not be doing so

Or everyone just deleted the company email off their phones... SOLVED!! ;-) unless you’re salary you shouldn’t be checking emails when you’re not at work... and if you’re hourly then they better be paying everyone EACH time you log in from your phone.... amazon JeffBezos

Let’s not forget that Amazon owns Twitch. This is just Bezos taking a shot at a rival under the guise of security.

This is a good thing. For everyone complaining about internet freedom, they need to realize that TikTokBan is not infringing that at all, the app is objectively harmful and aimed at infiltrating our data and sending it to the Chinese Government. People should stop using it asap

Amazon worried about TikTok . But there warehouse employees keep getting COVID19. Stop it.

🤔....

How about if they remove the company email access?

CNN laughed at President Trump when he said that TikTok was a DANGER! just like you BASHED the drug for COVID19 that has turned out to be beneficial. Are you BIAS?

🤣🤣🤣

I'd think US should ban China owned Tiktok. Because they ban our American YouTube and Facebook in their country!

That’s rich coming from the makers of Alexa.

ooo the tables turn, eh?

Oh please, Facebook has been getting info since 2005 and selling it for millions for years, including China.

Campaign to destroy Tiktok just started.. Watch out for the next steps 👀👀👀

Amazon Bans TikTok From Employee Phones Over Security ConcernsAmazon, which has about 840,000 employees worldwide, has told company staff to delete TikTok from their phones because of potential security risks, Variety has confirmed. TikTok, the short-form vid… Hmmm 🤔 I guess Amazon Alexa secretly listening to our conversations in the room is not a security concern? I am not a TikTok user but the logic that these corrupt politicians and media use against it is lame. If they are concerned w/ govs spying on Americans, that goes for ALL social media. Also I am sure it has nothing to do w/ many TikTok viral stuff being politically left... I'm surprised given their commitment to carrying every possible product made in China. This is a blatant political move.
