Amazon urges employees to delete TikTok

Amazon made waves on Friday when it emailed some employees instructing them to delete TikTok from their phones over security concerns tied to the China-owned app.

But hours later an Amazon spokesperson said the request had been sent out in error and that there was no change to the company’s policies at the moment, The Guardian reports.

An internal memo sent to Amazon employees on Friday morning had given them until the end of the day to delete the app “due to security risks” or risk losing mobile access to company email accounts.
