British lawmakers sanctioned by the Chinese regime on Thursday urged Parliament to delete its newly set up TikTok account, saying they are “surprised and disappointed” that Parliament set up an account with the Chinese-owned app.

In a post on Twitter promoting its new TikTok account, which appears to target young people, Parliament said on Wednesday that the account was going to publish “news and behind-the-scenes content from the Elizabeth Tower,” starting with a video on “where’s the best spot to get your best selfie with the famous Tower.”
