"Amazon" "mistakenly" sent an email to its employees asking them to remove the application "Tick Talk", in light of the return of tension between the United States and China, as the American group announced The giant in e-commerce.
"The e-mail addressed to some of our employees was sent in error. There is no change in our current policy towards Tik Tok," a Amazon spokesman told AFP.
On Friday, the giant American group sent an e-mail requesting them to scan the "Tik Tok" application on their devices to continue to view their e-mails from their phones, according to American media.
The "Tik Tok" application is very popular with teenagers, especially thanks to its funny videos, which are largely focused on dance and music. It belongs to the Chinese "Beat Dance" group and has a billion users around the world.
A spokesperson for the social network confirmed to Agence France Presse that "the safety of users is a high priority for Tik Tok. We pledge full respect for the privacy of our users."
US President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday that he was studying the possibility of blocking the "Tik Tok" application because of suspicions of network spying on behalf of the Chinese government.
