Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that TikTok is banned on government-owned devices?
The nuance matters; there's a significant difference between banning the app on government devices and extending that ban to personal devices owned by employees. The headline suggests a more extensive ban, but it's specifically about government-owned devices.
Furthermore, I'm puzzled as to why TikTok would be on government-issued devices in the first place. Shouldn't a standard MDM block non-essential apps by default? Why would they need TikTok on work devices, aside from perhaps a PR representative with an official presence there?
