The US crackdown on TikTok continues with yet another ban, which prohibits US House of Representatives' staff to use and download the social media app.
In what seems like a proper plot for a potential South Park episode, members of the US House of Representatives are now banned from using or downloading the popular social media app, TikTok. The House of Representatives' Chief Administrative Officer , Catherine Szpindor, reportedly instructed House lawmakers and staff in an email to delete TikTok from any government-owned devices they use and also prohibited future downloads of the popular app.
This comes off as yet another blow at TikTok, which is already prohibited on government-owned devices used by the U.S. military, the State Department, and the Department of Homeland Security. Banning TikTok from all government devices is also part of the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that was unveiled last week. At the moment, 19 states also prohibit their local governmental staff from downloading and using TikTok.
