It has been alleged the app hands data from users to the Chinese government, although the firm has strongly denied this. He told MPs the move was a “precautionary” measure because of the app’s capability to collect and store huge amounts of people’s data which would potentially include sensitive Government information. His defiant message - which abides by the letter of the new Government edict - came just hours after Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Dowden confirmed TikTok, the Chinese-owned social video sharing app, was to be banned from Government phones. To underline his point, he posted a clip from The Wolf of Wall Street of Leonardo diCaprio's character saying "I'm not leaving" to wild applause. The energy security secretary declared on TikTok that would “NOT be leaving anytime soon” by continuing to use the site on his personal phones - which is allowed under the Government’s edict. Grant Shapps issued a defiant TikTok post on Thursday that he would remain on the platform despite an official ban on the app on Government phones.
