A cabinet minister vowed to keep using Tiktok on his personal phone today despite a new ban on the app being used on Government devices - and compared his defiance to the macho Wolf of Wall Street. 
Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps, 54, used a post on the Chinese-owned platform - popular with teenagers - featuring Leonardo Di Caprio to say he would not be leaving.
Ministers today ordered that the app be removed from all government phones over fears data was being sent to the Communist regime in Beijing. 
Buy they stopped short of ordering ministers and civil servants from removing it from their personal phones as well, despite pleas from backbenchers for stronger action. 
Mr Shapps posted a video on the site showing Di Caprio as convicted fraudster Jordan Belfort in Martin Scorsese's 2013 film, in a scene where he refuses to quit his financial firm, telling cheering staff: 'They're gonna need a f**king wrecking ball to take us out of here!'
The minister wrote: 'I've never used TikTok on goverment (sic) devices and can hereby confirm I will NOT be leaving TikTok anytime soon!'
His spokeswoman said he backed the government ban but added: 'He is concerned that representatives of the people who deliberately choose not to engage with the public on the platforms that they actually use are unlikely to continue to represent these voters for "https://6305dc71186f7.site123.me/blog/tcp-transmission-control-protocol-the-transmission-protocol-explained long.'
Cabinet Office minister  told MPs the ban - with a limited number of operational 'exemptions' - would start with immediate effect after 'risks' were discovered in a cyber-security review. 
But Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps is to continue to use the app on his own phone.

He posted a video on the site showing Leonardo Di Caprio as the 'Wolf of Wall Street' refusing to quit his firm, writing: 'I've never used TikTok on goverment (sic) devices and can hereby confirm I will NOT be leaving TikTok anytime soon!'
Nadine Dorries, the former culture secretary, urged other MPs to follow her example and delete it voluntary.
The restriction comes in response to concerns that users' sensitive data could be accessed by the authorities in Beijing from the firm's owner ByteDance, which has its headquarters in China.

But despite demands from Tory backbenchers including ex-party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith he stopped short of forcing ministers and civil servants from deleting the app from their personal devices.
Nadine Dorries, the former culture secretary, urged other MPs to follow her example and delete it voluntary.
Mr Dowden additionally revealed that from now on only third-party apps from an approved list would be allowed on all official devices across departments and arms-lengths bodies.
It follows moves by the US, the EU and Canada to stop officials using the app on their work devices, and comes after the Government declared that China 'poses an epoch-defining challenge'. 
Mr Dowden told MPs the move was 'good cyber hygiene', adding: 'The security of sensitive government information must come first, so today we are banning this app on government devices.

The use of other data-extracting apps will be kept under review.
'It's clear there could be a risk around how sensitive Government data is accessed and used by certain platforms.'
TikTok said it was 'disappointed' with the Government's decision to ban the video-sharing app from official devices.
Parliament's TikTok account was shut down last year after MPs raised concerns about the firm's links to China.
The official Downing Street TikTok page has not been updated since the summer. But the Ministry of Defence opened an account only last week. 
Sir Iain told MailOnline the ban had to be extended to the personal phones of ministers and senior civil servants to work effectively. 
'While they are ministers they should be denied access.

If it is a security risk on the government phones it is a security risk on their phones,' he said.
'The idea that they do nothing with the Government other than on their secure phones - I'm sorry, that is not true. This app should not be on their personal phones.'
However last month the new Science Secretary, Michelle Donelan, said prohibiting MPs and civil servants from using the popular social media platform altogether  would be a 'very, very forthright move' which would require more evidence to justify.
No10 today said that parents should be reassured about the safety of their children using TikTok, saying the change was 'very much about potential vulnerability of Government data'.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Dowden said that the block on the Chinese-owned app - with a limited number of operational 'exemptions' - came after a review by Government experts. 
Former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, who has called for a more robust attitude towards Beijing, welcomed the development.

But he told MailOnline the ban had to be extended to the personal phones of ministers and senior civil servants to work effectively.
TikTok has said bans have been based on 'misplaced fears and seemingly driven by wider geopolitics', saying it would be 'disappointed by such a move' in the UK.
A spokesman said: 'We believe these bans have been based on fundamental misconceptions and driven by wider geopolitics, in which TikTok, and our millions of users in the UK, play no part,' a spokesman said.
'We remain committed to working with the Government to address any concerns but should be judged on facts and treated equally to our competitors.
'We have begun implementing a comprehensive plan to further protect our European user data, which includes storing UK user data in our European data centres and tightening data access controls, including third-party independent oversight of our approach.'
But Alicia Kearns, chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said: 'Significant questions remain around TikTok's ability to act as a data Trojan Horse.

The Government has a duty to protect our people from the acquisition of our personal data by a hostile states.'
Asked about a possible ban earlier this week, security minister Tom Tugendhat told Times Radio he had asked the National Cyber Security Centre, a branch of GCHQ, to assess the risk.
'We need to make sure that our phones are not spyware, but useful tools for us,' he said. 
It comes after the Biden administration threatened to ban .
It is the first time the administration has explicitly threatened a ban and represents a shift in its attitude towards the platform, which for the way it harvests data from US citizens.
The demand was made by the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States and specifies that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, sell its stake in the US version of the app.
It is unclear whether federal officials have given ByteDance a deadline to sell.
TikTok UK declined to comment ahead of the statement.
