The ban on the use of Tik Tok in US federal agencies was approved

Nancy Pelosi, the spokesperson of the US House of Representatives, announced that a decision has not yet been made regarding the support of the law passed in the Senate to ban government employees from using Tik Tok on government devices.

According to Aetna’s report from Mehr, this is while the US Senate yesterday passed a bill banning the use of the Tik Tok video sharing application on all phones and devices of the US federal government. The said bill was presented to the Senate by Mark Rubio a day before.

One day after the Senate’s vote, Pelosi said: We are studying the legal content of the law and we have no objection to its idea. I don’t know what the agenda of the House of Representatives is next week, but this issue is very, very important.

The House of Representatives must pass the Senate bill before the end of the congressional session. In the next step, this law will be sent to US President Joe Biden to sign it.

Georgia Governor Brian Camp announced that North Dakota, Idaho and Iowa last week passed laws banning the use of Tik Tok on government devices, and the number of US states banning the Chinese app is increasing. .

This is while there are concerns about the transfer of data to the Chinese government. Of course, the camp has also issued an order to ban the use of the Chinese WeChat messenger as well as the Russian Telegram messenger on government devices.

The US government’s Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS), a powerful national security agency in the country, has been seeking to reach an agreement on national security for months to protect the data of more than 100 million TikTok users in the US. But even though the year is coming to an end, no agreement seems to have been reached.

Tik Tok announced yesterday that the Senate bill has no effect on increasing US national security interests.

This is while many federal agencies, including the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Homeland Security, etc., have now banned the use of Tik Tok in government agencies.
