Some politicians in Germany consider the app “a danger to our democracy,” says Roderich Kiesewetter, vice chairman of the Bundestag’s intelligence control committee and member of Germany’s conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), because it is an “important instrument” in China and Russia’s hybrid warfare.
Jens Zimmerman, a member of Germany’s Social Democratic Party, said that the government should consider at least banning the app on federal devices. This is the case for the EU institutions, for instance.
If that’s a no brainer, it should also be a no brainer to ban them on company devices.
Sure, but that’s up to the companies, not the government.
Every company I’ve worked for has had very strict standards as to what could be installed on their devices.
