BBC Journalists Urge Bosses To Cool Their TikTok “Obsession” After App Spied On Reporters
06.01.2023 - 16:57 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Senior BBC journalists have called on their bosses to rethink the UK broadcaster’s new-found enthusiasm for TikTok after the Chinese social media giant spied on reporters.
Deadline has spoken to a number of experienced BBC employees who were alarmed at TikTok’s admission last month that it had tracked journalists working for Forbes, BuzzFeed, and the Financial Times.
The insiders said TikTok should be considered a security risk by the BBC and questioned whether the platform was the best way to serve UK audiences, who fund the public broadcaster by paying a licence fee.
The BBC said in a statement that it would regularly review its data and security processes in relation to TikTok. It added that the app was an “essential” part of plans to reach young audiences.
A TikTok source said the company was happy to discuss security issues with BBC journalists and “allay any concerns that they have”.
The TikTok concerns have emerged as the BBC’s relationship with China has faced scrutiny. A Deadline investigation last month revealed that BBC StoryWorks, a commercial unit, was producing glossy tourism ad campaigns for organs of Chinese state media. Human rights campaigners were alarmed at the findings.
BBC News was initially reluctant to jump on the TikTok bandwagon but eventually joined its 1BN active users, launching an account last March amid a rush of interest in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Since then, Deborah Turness, the former NBC News executive, has joined as CEO of BBC News and is said to be a vocal advocate for TikTok. Tim Davie, the BBC director-general, spoke last month about the importance of having an “active partnership” with TikTok.

‘This Place Rules’ Review: An Irreverent Journalistic War Cry For Our Divided Nation
January 6th, 2021, was a bleak day in our country’s history for any number of reasons, but it was not without its obvious, glaring warning signs, or so argues “This Place Rules,” a bracingly funny mix of man-on-the-street gonzo journalism and punk political critique born from the entirely singular brain of “Channel 5“/”All Gas No Brakes” mastermind Andrew Callaghan (the film has been jointly produced by A24, Jonah Hill’s Strong Baby Productions, and Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim’s Abso Lutely Productions).
