Following the federal and state government, City of Magee has banned TikTok on city devices (phones, I pads, computers etc). The federal government enacted the ban due to growing national security concerns related to China.
Policymakers fear that ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, could share the data collected on its one hundred million US users and share with the Chinese Communist Party.
In 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order mandating the sale of TikTok to a U.S. company within forty-five days. But the order was held up in court, and Trump left office before a final ruling was issued.

I think it’s a good decision by the City of Magee to ban TikTok from city devices. With the security and privacy concerns surrounding the app, it’s important that the city take measures to protect their data and citizens from potential risks associated with using the app.
