"Citing national security risks, Ohio and New Jersey are the latest states to ban TikTok from government-owned devices. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed an executive order Monday that prohibits the use and download of Chinese-owned media applications and channels on state government owned and leased devices. The order targeted TikTok, along with other Chinese-owned apps and services, such as WeChat, Weibo and Tencent Video. On the same day, New Jersey imposed a ban on "high-risk softwares and services," including TikTok, on government devices. On Friday, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers announced that he also plans to ban the app on state-owned devices. If Wisconsin follows the lead of the now 21 other states that've issued bans or restrictions, that would mean nearly half of US states would have some sort of ban on the app in 2023.
State officials are wary of user data that ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, might provide to the Chinese government. ByteDance didn't immediately respond to a request for comment."
