JAKARTA - TikTok accused the European Commission of failing to consult with him regarding the decision to ban the short Chinese video sharing app from staff phones on cybersecurity grounds, a move that other EU agencies later followed.
The app owned by Chinese company ByteDance is facing increasingly intense scrutiny from Western authorities over concerns that the Chinese government could use it to collect netizen data. Beijing regularly denies having such intentions.
On Thursday, February 23, EU executive bodies and the EU Council, which discussed this with member state representatives to set policy priorities, announced that staff would also be required to remove TikTok from private mobile devices that have access to corporate services. TikTok said it had never been contacted by the agency before the decision was taken.
"So we're really operating under the clouds. And the lack of transparency and lack of proper processes. To be honest we expect this kind of engagement", saidfoliance, Director of Public Policy and Government Relations of TikTok, as quoted by Reuters.
He said he could not respond to cybersecurity concerns from the agency because they had not explained it in detail.
The European Commission pointed to comments by EU chief industry Thierry Breton in a press conference last Thursday, in which he said that EU executive bodies do not need to provide an excuse for the decisions taken to ensure the correct functions.
"The termination of the use of TikTok is a pure internal decision for cybersecurity reasons to protect the data and staff of the Secretariat General of the Council. Since GSC has no contract relationship with TikTok, there is no obligation to consult or notify them," EU officials said.
lead said TikTok CEO Shou Zi law, who met Breton and other commissioners in Brussels in January, was "packed and a little confused".
"Always ready and in response to the Commission... We have contacted them for a meeting in whatever form they want."
▁Hakim juga mengatakan badan- badan EU lainnya harus melakukan penelitian mereka sendiri sebelum mengambil keputusan tentang aplikasi tersebut. TikTok dilarang di perangkat milik pegawai Pemerintah AS dan juga di India. Parliament Eropa belum mengambil langkah serupa.
