President Joe Biden has raised concerns with Chinese President Xi Jinping.<br \/>\n<strong>MACRON AMASSES 4 MILLION FOLLOWERS<\/strong><br \/>\nTikTok says security warnings are unwarranted and it does not collect more information than other apps.<br \/>\nIn a bid to assuage concerns, it launched a site to store European users\u2019 data in Dublin last year and hired a third-party security firm to monitor data flows.<br \/>\nByteDance has denied using its product for spying, while the Chinese government has also denied any such intention.<br \/>\nHarris, 37, was an early adopter in March 2021, producing videos that ranged from a 60-second budget summary with musical background to footage of him making a cup of tea when watching football.<br \/>\nAnother was French President Emmanuel Macron, who boasts 4 million followers since joining TikTok in 2020.<br \/>\nIn Germany, the embrace of TikTok by senior politicians is a newer trend, with Health Minister Karl Lauterbach becoming the country\u2019s first minister to open an account in March.<br \/>\n\u201cRevolution at TikTok: it starts today,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cWe cannot leave social media to the AfD\u201d, he said, of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party that surged to become Germany\u2019s second-most popular.<br \/>\nChancellor Olaf Scholz in February also suggested his government open a TikTok account.<br \/>\nBy contrast, Germany\u2019s top ministers already have an established presence on other social media. For example, Scholz, the finance minister, the economy minister and the foreign minister all have Instagram accounts, as does Lauterbach.<br \/>\nReaching young voters is particularly pressing as 16-year-olds in Germany can vote in the June European elections.<br \/>\n<strong>MAINSTREAM PARTIES \u2018PANICKING\u2019<\/strong><br \/>\nAmong German parties, the AfD dominates TikTok. The party has 411,000 followers, its top candidate Maximilian Krah 41,000.<br \/>\n\u201cSo all the other democratic parties are kind of panicking at the moment not to leave this important platform and the young demographic, the young voters, to this radical party,\u201d said political consultant Johannes Hillje.<br \/>\nIn one video, Krah encourages school pupils to confront left-wing teachers. Another sees him dispensing dating advice to young men, telling them to not watch porn or vote for the Greens. \u201cReal men are right-wing, real men have ideals, real men are patriots.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alternative for Germany (AfD) MEP candidate Maximilian Krah is seen in this screenshot obtained from a social media video on April 7, 2024. TikTok\/@maximilian_krah via Reuters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mainstream politicians wanting to emulate such reach face a dilemma because they are also suspicious of using a platform from an authoritarian country.<br \/>\nLauterbach said he can have reservations about TikTok while recognising its effectiveness. \u201cI don\u2019t give the platform any legitimacy by using it,\u201d he said. To prevent data leaks, he bought a separate phone for TikTok use.<br \/>\nMacron\u2019s team also says the French president sees TikTok\u2019s usefulness and the need for regulation as separate issues. \u201cWe cannot ignore this population, the vast majority of whom do not watch television news or read the press,\u201d an adviser who did not wish to be named told Reuters.<br \/>\nShowing the level of security concern, Britain and Austria banned TikTok from government employees\u2019 work phones last year.<br \/>\nBut TikTok is becoming harder to ignore. A report by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism last year found that fewer people were putting their trust in traditional media with more turning to TikTok for news.<br \/>\nTikTok was the fastest growing social network in the report, used by 20% of 18- to 24-year-olds for news.<br \/>\nIn the UK, the most senior minister with a significant presence on TikTok is Defence Secretary Grant Shapps.<br \/>\nWhen the TikTok ban on government devices was announced, Shapps responded on the platform with a clip from the 2013 film \u201cWolf of Wall Street\u201d, where Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s character Jordan Belfort declares: \u201cI\u2019m not fucking leaving\u201d.<br \/>\nShapps added that he had never used TikTok on government devices, and that the ban was sensible.<br \/>\nBelgium banned ministers and civil servants from installing TikTok on their official devices but politicians get around this by using the app on separate devices.<br \/>\nThe co-ruling Green party\u2019s politicians post TikTok videos with devices that are only connected to 4G and have no other apps installed, and the phones are not kept by the politicians themselves but by their employees.<br \/>\n\u201cAnother reason we are on it (TikTok), is that we don\u2019t want to leave the field to the far-left or the far-right,\u201d a Green party spokesperson told Reuters.<br \/>\n\u201cYoung people get news through social media and TikTok is one of the biggest platforms. Some politicians are comfortable with that, others are not.\u201d<br \/>\n(Reuters)social media platform.
