Chris Sununu of New Hampshire on Thursday banned the use of TikTok and popular messaging applications from all computer devices controlled by their state governments, saying the Chinese government may be able to access users’ personal information.
Govs. Brian Kemp of Georgia and Chris Sununu of New Hampshire on Thursday immediately banned the use of TikTok and popular messaging applications from all computer devices controlled by their state governments, saying the Chinese government may be able to access users’ personal information.
Sununu said the ban “will help preserve the safety, security, and privacy of the citizens of New Hampshire.” Some agencies swiftly took action. Within an hour, Georgia’s Department of Transportation posted a farewell video on TikTok to its 2,834 followers, saying “Follow us on Instagram, we will no longer be posting to TikTok! Thank you all for the engagement.” The department had posted more than 80 videos since October 2021.
Other states that have issued bans including Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Utah. "A lot of people are saying we don't need two TikToks, we like what Instagram was for originally." Instagram's changes to its design — which include greater focus on video content and recommended posts — are getting backlash from users. NBC News tech and culture reporter Kat Tenbarge joins LX News to discuss the changes.
