1 February 2023 at 17:22 Justice Minister Mehl had TikTok on the service phone Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl had TikTok on the service phone. – Ever since questions were asked about this the first time, I have tried to answer both the Storting and the media as openly and honestly as I think is wise, about my TikTok use. But I am also aware that all information can be misused, says Mehl to TV 2. The minister says that for this reason she has not wanted to go into detail about which digital tools she uses and how these are set up. – But now there is so much speculation – which I feel goes beyond what there is a basis for – that I would like to clarify that I had TikTok on my ungraded service phone from the end of August/September this autumn until one of the first days in October, she says to TV 2. news has asked the Prime Minister’s office what security considerations mean that Mehl cannot answer the Storting or the public about whether she has had TikTok installed on her work phone. – The Storting will, in the usual way, get an answer to this before we answer the media, replied State Secretary Kristoffer Thoner on Tuesday. In a number of articles, Dagbladet has problematized the Minister of Justice’s use of TikTok. The newspaper has asked several times whether she has also downloaded the Chinese-owned app on her work phone.
