The BBC, Which Has 4 Million Followers on TikTok, Tells Employees Not to Download TikTok
A BBC spokesperson said this is all about data. “The BBC takes the safety and security of our systems, data and people incredibly seriously,” the spokesperson said. “We constantly review activity on third party platforms—including TikTok—and will continue to do so.” The BBC will keep using TikTok for editorial and marketing purposes, but “will continue to monitor and assess the situation.”Fans of the great British television who enjoy short-form highlights don’t have to worry.
TikTok and the BBC are competitors. The BBC is an entertainment company, and is therefore fighting for the same eyeballs as TikTok. Whether or not espionage fears are real, the admonition on downloading the app may be motivated by business concerns.
