- KineticLensman 7y ago> apparently it is currently used in the UK There are various stories (the Daily Mail, Reuters, Times, please take your pick) that report that the Army is 'playing with' TikTok to see if it works in recruitment. Those same reports say it is being used by 'The Guards Division'.
