The Justice Department has announced that federal employees can now download TikTok on their government-issued phones. This decision comes as a reversal of the 2022 law that had banned the app due to concerns about national security.
A memo from the department’s Office of Legal Counsel has formalized earlier guidance indicating that the latest version of the app does not present data or national security risks, making it safe for use by employees.
This change reflects a shift in policy and acknowledges that previous risks associated with the app have been addressed in the new version.
