The White House has instructed federal agencies to uninstall TikTok from all government devices within 30 days, citing concerns that the Chinese Communist Party may obtain access to US data through the Beijing-owned social media platform. The Office of Management and Budget issued a memo to the heads of executive departments and agencies, mandating the removal of TikTok. This action was taken in compliance with the No TikTok on Government Devices Act, which was passed by Congress late last year and required the development of standards for removing the social media platform.
