NATO-member Denmark's Defence Ministry on Monday banned its employees from having video-sharing app TikTok on their work phones as a cybersecurity measure. It's the latest government-related ban over security and data privacy for the app, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd. In a statement, the ministry said the Scandinavian country's Centre for Cyber Security had assessed there was a risk of espionage.
