TikTok has been banned from electronic devices managed by the US House of Representatives, according to an internal notice sent to House staff

Users who install the short-form video app on any House mobile device will be asked to remove the software, according to the notice, which was provided to CNN by the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer. The notice identifies TikTok as a “high risk to users due to a number of security risks.” Separately, the US government is soon expected to ban TikTok from all federal devices as part of legislation included in the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill awaiting President Joe Biden’s signature.

US policymakers have cited TikTok as a potential national security risk, saying that the Chinese government could pressure TikTok or its parent company, ByteDance, into handing over the personal information of its US users, which could then be used for Chinese intelligence operations or the spreading of Chinese-backed disinformation.

Boycott TikTok

My son can me to me years ago, showing me this app. I saw that it was developed by a company out of China and I refused to allow it because, China. The no company in China doing business in the US is doing so without the blessing and cooperation of the Communists. dangerous

I'm sure they got their information by now already.

Another Trump was right moment.

TikTok is owned by Bytedance, a subsidiary of the Chinese Government. They take facial and voice scansof all their users, record keystrokes, and upload your videos to their servers before you even post them.

If Congress original allowed for any app to install, including TikTok, then that is not very good Security, it was an issue 3yrs back as we know it…

God bless Tik Tok! That's a great indicator that they're not in collaborations with the Federal authorities. Perhaps they'll be sought as witnesses by those seeking judgements against the United States authorities in the international courts. Go and seize the US's foreign assets!

Tik tok is used to lure people into investing in fake crypto platforms using Chinese girls to befriend unspecteding men.

TikTok's app shouldn't be in any government offices at all. It's a known security risk and can bypass most security software.

Politicians shouldn't be on social media
