Several governments have decided to ban TikTok from the work phones of their employees. They were joined this time by the city of New York who decided to do the same.
In the United States, TikTok is less and less welcome. The application is notably banned from phones belonging to government employees and the city of New York has decided to do the same at its level.
The mayor must abandon his TikTok account
It must be said that the city that never sleeps could be considered a very small state. It was also its cybersecurity division, the NYC Cyber Command, which demanded that city employees immediately stop using the application which constitutes “a threat to the security of the city’s networks. “.
“While social media is great for connecting New Yorkers with each other and with the city, we need to make sure that we always use these platforms in a safe way,” New York City said at The Verge.
The Mayor of the Big Apple, Eric Adams, had to abandon his TikTok account when he communicated on it with more than 11,000 subscribers. A message indicates that the account was maintained by the city until August 2023 but that is no longer the case today.
This is not the first time that the application has been banned on a smaller scale than the government one. The app is already banned from the phones of New York State agents and it will be banned from next year in Montana as well. This state also plans to go quite far since the application would be prohibited throughout the State.
