LONDON: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has hinted that the UK could follow in the US and the European Union’s footsteps by banning the popular social media app TikTok on government phones and devices.

The Prime Minister said Britain would "look at what our allies are doing” when it came to reviewing the presence of the Chinese-owned video sharing platform on staff equipment.
