Delete TikTok to protect yourself
After China threatened "further actions" in response to America's serious overreaction" in the downing of a suspected spy balloon, Foreign Affairs Committee chair Alicia Kearns has been speaking on the matter.
She tells Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme: "The American government made clear they see this to be an intelligence capability. It's the size of three buses. It was flying at 60,000ft high. That's not really where you normally get your weather detail from.
"And also, they've said that this is part of a pattern where they have seen this happening time and time again. So I think there's no question that this is definite intelligence capability.
"Now, they've shot it down the US will be able to work out exactly what intelligence capabilities it had on board."
She goes on to urge people to remove TikTok from their phones.
She says: "TikTok gave evidence to my committee where they said that there was no way that individuals working in China could get access to the data of Britons.
"But what we've now seen is that people working at China for TikTok hacked into European data so they could track down the source of a journalist.
"Because what TikTok does is it gives away the data that makes you most vulnerable. Who are you friends with? What are your interests?
"What are the interests you have that you may not publicly disclose? Who are having private conversations with ? The locations you go to?
"Our data is a key vulnerability."
"It is not worth having that data vulnerability on your phone," she adds.
