SACRAMENTO – California could become the latest state to restrict TikTok on state-issued devices, after a lawmaker from the North Bay has introduced a proposal that would ban so-called"high-risk social media applications.", which would ban the downloading and installation of such apps on state-owned or issued devices, including cellphones.
"Social media apps are ubiquitous in our daily lives, but there is growing concern about information theft and data collection that comes with their use," Dodd said in a statement.FBI director Christopher Wray recently warned"Prohibiting these apps on state phones and other devices is a commonsense way to prevent exposure of our sensitive material and the possible tracking or data breaches.
In recent weeks, nearly two dozen states have limited the app on government-issued devices. On the federal level, President Joe Biden approved some restrictions on TikTok on federal devices. Meanwhile, bans are in place at the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Military.
