30 days to remove TikTok from federal devices, White House tells agencies

The White House on Tuesday gave government agencies 30 days to ensure they do not have Chinese-owned app TikTok on federal devices and systems.

In a bid to keep US data safe, all federal agencies must eliminate TikTok from phones and systems and prohibit internet traffic from reaching the company, office of management and budget director Shalanda Young told agencies in a guidance memorandum seen by Reuters.
