New York City reportedly bans TikTok on government devices

New York City has reportedly banned TikTok on city-issued devices used by the city employees. The move comes as the app continues to face international scrutiny over its Chinese ownership and concerns regarding data collection and dissemination of pro-China narratives. The ban follows New York state employees being prohibited from using the social media app for marketing reasons earlier. Legislators have been pushing for a proposed law that could lead to a nationwide TikTok ban as suspicions have arisen about US TikTok data being stored in China.
