New York City is banning TikTok from city-owned devices and requiring agencies to remove the app within the next 30 days.
The directive issued Wednesday comes after a review by the NYC Cyber Command, which a city official said found that TikTok “posed a security threat to the city’s technical networks.” Starting immediately, city employees are barred from downloading or using the app and accessing TikTok’s website from any city-owned devices.
Am I the only one thinking social media apps shouldn’t be on a work device anyway, unless you’re part of their social media team?
Not without some intent and effort :D But shit’s blurred, because some use social media in their workplace communications for some reason. InfoSec is too hard of a concept for many.
