New York City will ban TikTok from government devices, The Verge reported<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday. City agencies have 30 days to remove the ByteDance-owned app from their devices. Employees will not be allowed to download or use TikTok on their city-sanctioned tech effective immediately. This comes three years after New York state banned TikTok from government devices in 2020, according to Times-Union<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

NYC Cyber Command, a subset of the Office of Technology and Innovation, spurred the decision after reporting to the city that TikTok posed a security threat. "NYC Cyber Command regularly explores and advances proactive measures to keep New Yorkers' data safe," a City Hall spokesperson said. "As part of these ongoing efforts, NYC Cyber Command determined that the TikTok application posed a security threat to the city\u2019s technical networks and directed its removal from city-owned devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other states and localities, notably Montana<\/a>, have made waves banning TikTok more generally across the jurisdiction. But on a wider scale, most legislators have taken an approach banning the app for government employees, including the federal government<\/a>. Thirty-three states across parties lines now have restrictions on the use of TikTok<\/a> on government-owned tech.<\/p>\n

As legislation continues to resurface considering a total ban on TikTok and other apps affiliated with the Chinese government, ByteDance fights to proven that its not a threat to national security<\/a>. TikTok CEO Shou Chew even testified in front of Congress<\/a> reiterating that "ByteDance is not an agent of China."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
