TikTok Banned On All US Federal Government Devices Due To Security Concerns

TikTok has been banned on all U.S. federal government devices following President Joe Biden’s signing of a bill that considers the social media app a security risk.

The ban will take effect in the next two months and will be implemented by several government agencies. However, certain exceptions will be made for government employees who use TikTok for national security or law enforcement purposes.

The U.S. government’s ban on TikTok comes after Congress passed a bill earlier this week prohibiting the use of the app on House of Representatives devices.

TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has stated that the ban is a “political gesture” that will not enhance national security.
