The United States House of Representatives has voted to ban TikTok on all government devices as Congress considers a nationwide ban.
The House of Representatives in the United States has officially voted to ban TikTok, the popular social media app, from government devices., the command came from the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration. The ban, which was announced on Tuesday, applies to any government device that the House of Representatives manages.
The ban has gone into effect “due to a number of security risks.” In November, FBI Director Christopher Wray specifically pointed to the Chinese government, which could force TikTok owner ByteDance to hand over user data. The House of Representatives has joined a number of other parts of the government in the United States to ban the app on government devices. The Senate passed a similar measure earlier this month, and many states have passed bans on state and local devices.
