Tiktok bans continue unabated
TikTok being one of the most used apps ever has some problems now regarding getting banned on government devices. Here are the details.
TikTok was banned in recent regions recently. In this context, it was also desired to end the use of TikTok on government devices in some states. These moves are now continuing unabated. Now regarding the situation some new repors arrived. The $1.7 trillion spending bill that lawmakers unveiled early Tuesday morning could allow the No TikTok on Government Devices Act, which received approval from the Senate last week, to become law.
The 4,155-page bill includes provisions that would prohibit the use of TikTok on government-owned phones and other devices, as well as additional funding for Ukraine and $40 billion for natural disaster recovery efforts across the US.
Tiktok bans continue unabated
The spending bill does not outright ban all government use of TikTok, despite Republican lawmakers' calls for a nationwide ban. The legislation would direct the General Services Administration and the Office of Management and Budget to establish guidelines for executive agency staff to follow when removing TikTok from government-owned devices by the middle of February if it were to be enacted into law.
The ban on TikTok on government devices has ended up in the omnibus.
