Biden signs No TikTok on Government Devices Act banning app from federal phones

President Biden signs the No TikTok on Government Devices Act into law, prohibiting TikTok from being used on devices owned by the federal government, with limited exceptions for law enforcement, national security, and research purposes. The bipartisan legislation passes both chambers with strong support as congressional leaders warn that TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance poses a national security risk. The law is a precursor to the 2024 legislation that would require ByteDance to divest TikTok or face a nationwide ban.
