TIKTOK BAN FOR GOV DEVICES INCLUDED IN MASSIVE OMNIBUS BILL

 

Government Orders Immediate Removal Of TikTok From All Devices

 

The House ordered the immediate removal of social networking app TikTok from its devices, according to an mass email sent out.

 

In the email, House Chief Administrative Office Catherine L. Szpindor wrote to staff members and lawmakers informing them that TikTok is banned “From all House managed devices.” The email says the policy goes into effect “Beginning immediately.”

 

This message comes after Congress included a bill to ban TikTok from executive branch government devices in the 4,000-plus page omnibus package passed last week.

 

The email states that The Office of Cybersecurity “Deemed The TikTok mobile application to be a high risk to users due to a number of security risks.”

 

The measure in the omnibus, known as the No TikTok on Government Devices Act, prohibits use of the social media app on government-issued devices.

 

Senator Josh Hawley, R-M.O. advocated for a TikTok ban on government devices to be included in budget bill.

 

Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Tom Cotton, R-Ark.

 

“Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall develop standards and guidelines for executive agencies requiring the removal of any covered application from information technology,” the bill says.
