Why would there be any recreational app on a government phone :facepalm:. There's a reason people who deal with anything sensitive or confidential are supposed to have a personal phone and a work phone!

Because of how educational and informative TikTok can be?

To be fair I've seen a couple of good air-fryer recipes.

On Politics Live BBC2HD today
they showed a TikTok Video of Boris Johnson
from some years ago.
He got all his cabinet
on that app
to connect better with voters
the same reason in the USA.
Of Course USA,
removed it
some time ago.
Matt Hancock loved it,
he is still on it.

It can be used for social engagement especially with young people - but like I said... you can have more than one phone.

It’s actually amazing if you ‘fine tune’ it to your own personal tastes / interests
Some people just take a look and don’t like the dances or comedy sketches then give up and ridicule it unjustly
Some in here would like the LIVE camera ones where they place a camera in their tractor ( farmer ) or a chef or butcher and you see their working day from their perspective. They interact with everyone and answer questions etc
Ideal for “People watchers”
Almost every occupation is available

To be fair I haven't seen a politician who doesn't look deeply sad and pathetic when they use TikTok. Even those who aren't embarrassingly old to be seen on it, seem to transform into "boomers" when they're using that trash app.
