Amazon said it mistakenly sent an email to employees telling them to delete the popular video app TikTok from their phones. There is no change to our policies right now with regard to TikTok,” Amazon said in an emailed statement. Amazon had told employees to delete the popular video app from phones on which they use Amazon email, citing “security risks” from the China-owned service. To retain mobile access to Amazon email, employees must delete the TikTok app by the end of the day. In an emailed statement, TikTok said that Amazon did not notify it before sending the email.
