UT-Austin blocks TikTok on university Wifi
that people will no longer be able to use TikTok on university Wi-Fi. TikTok should still be accessible on students' personal devices, so long as they aren't connected to UT's wireless network.
Abbott follows several other Republican state leaders in issuing bans of the app on government devices, stemming from fears that the Chinese government is harvesting customers’ data. The governor has warned that TikTok is owned by ByteDance a Chinese company that is required to comply with any potential requests from its government to hand over data.
Several universities last month announced how they would follow Abbott's directive, including by searching and removing TikTok from the university-owned devices themselves. University of Houston officials on Tuesday added that they have not made any changes to its wireless networks related to the order.
