South Dakota’s governor signed an executive order on Tuesday banning state agencies, employees and contractors from accessing TikTok on government devices, citing “the growing national security threat” posed by the Chinese-owned social media platform. “South Dakota will have no part in the intelligence gathering operations of nations who hate us,” Gov. Kristi Noem said in a press release.
There has been renewed criticism of TikTok this year, stemming from a Buzzfeed News report in June that said some US user data has been repeatedly accessed from China. The reporting cited leaked audio recordings of dozens of internal TikTok meetings, including one where a TikTok employee allegedly said, “Everything is seen in China.
More money and views for twitter coming up. Musk is on a winner.
Rightfully so! Every state should!!
No one should be on Tik Tok while at work.
Seriously? State employees are allowed to have social media apps on employee device? It’s always a security concern! 🤯
Norm is correct and Americans better wake up before Our Country is not tis of thee!
Yep it is . Grooming our society and gathering info on all users
TikTok is the first popular non-American social media platform, American govt feel they are losing out, thus the plan to destroy it
Most government agencies prohibit numerous apps on their devices
Why would you want this on your work phone
Great news. More States need to do this.
Why do their government phones allow downloading apps? Lol maybe she should be investing in a better IT department!
Russia disinformation my ass.
That is a Gov that knows what to do. Lets see if other Govs will follow. All the World know already that China is spying all Globe to asure the domination. Out with them
She should ban the biggest threat to democracy
govkristinoem wants all state employees to go on OnlyFans where she has some cool pics.
Cool, twitter next!
Twitter releases proof of democratic parties, corruption and election interference during elections “now there’s a story CNN and LEFT MEDIA”
That should be a no brainer
You'd think our sprawling government would have the IT resources that the local real estate office does to block employees from wasting time on non-work-related sites.
Great idea, Bidens government won't do it!!
Noem will do anything to get you to feed her narcissism. She plays you like a fiddle.
good first step, but tiktok needs to be gutted
Ain’t most vape products made by china and most of the products we have right now also made in china
Twitter owned by a African wonder if twitter is to be banned next.
GOOD !!!!
This is a much bigger problem, the politicians don’t talk about this because it is not news worthy. This is the app that the Chinese government uses to control the Chinese population.
Good
Good for South Dakota.
