Bill Bennett: technology commentator says banning TikTok from Government devices is reasonable to counteract security risks - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A tech expert says banning TikTok from MP's phones is reasonable.

New Zealand Parliament is following the lead of international partners and banning the TikTok app from MP's work phones, over national security fears.

Technology commentator Bill Bennett says it has access to location and phone contact data, so it could be a security risk.

"Basically, the Chinese law is that any data TikTok collects, the Chinese Government can have access to it."
