EU bans TikTok on government phones as national security concerns grow from Western lawmakers. TikTok says it feels blindsided by the lack of 'due process.'

• Western lawmakers have expressed concerns over TikTok's cybersecurity threats in recent years. 
• The EU joins other authorities to ban the app from staff phones over cybersecurity concerns.
• The US Senate as well as more than half of US states also ban the app on government phones. 

The European Commission banned TikTok from staff phones over cybersecurity concerns, Reuters reported. 

TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese firm ByteDance, accused the EU of not consulting with it before making the move.
