Global Governments Ban TikTok on Official Devices Amid Security Concerns

New Zealand will ban TikTok on all devices with access to its parliament by the end of this month, becoming the latest country to impose an official bar on the popular social media platform owned by a Beijing-based tech conglomerate. Led by the United States, a growing number of Western nations are imposing restrictions on the use of TikTok on government devices citing national security concerns. TikTok has become one of the world’s most successful social media platforms and is hugely popular among younger people.
