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.
