"It's not impossible", Von der Leyen said after the moderator mentioned the United States, where TikTok is facing a national ban if it is not sold by the owner of ByteDance.
Von der Leyen noted that the European Commission was the first institution worldwide to ban TikTok on corporate phones.
"We know exactly the dangers of TikTok", she added.
The publication notes that von der Leyen was speaking at the debate not as president of the European Commission, but as a leading candidate for the center-right European People's Party. However, the remark about the Chinese social network came amid a series of bad news for TikTok in Europe, the article says.
