Australia to ban TikTok on government devices

Australia is the latest country cracking down on the Chinese-owned app.

The Australian government said on Tuesday (April 4) that it will ban TikTok on government devices, joining a growing list of Western countries that are cracking down on theChinese-owned app because of national security fears.

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said the decision followed advice from the country's intelligence agencies and would begin "as soon as practicable", according to a report by the news agency AFP.

More details will be added.
