Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers is banning TikTok from state phones and other devices. Nearly half of US states have made the same decision.
Can the US ban TikTok? U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio introduced a bill that would ban the social media app by ByteDance.Wisconsin and North Carolina on Thursday became the latest states to ban the use of TikTok on state phones and other devices, a move that comes after nearly half of the states nationwide have blocked the popular social media app owned by a Chinese company.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who like Evers was under pressure from Republicans to enact a ban, cited similar concerns. UW has numerous official TikTok accounts like one for the women's volleyball team, which has more than 41,000 followers. Universities often use TikTok accounts as a recruiting tool to connect with high school students.
TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company that moved its headquarters to Singapore in 2020. It has been targeted by critics who say the Chinese government could access user data, such as browsing history and location. U.S. armed forces also have prohibited the app on military devices. There are also concerns that the company is sending masses of user data to China, in breach of stringent European privacy rules.
