AUSTIN, Texas — A host of major Texas universities announced overnight that they have banned TikTok from government-issued devices and restricted access to the social media app on their internet networks.
The University of Texas at Austin, one of the nation's largest college campuses, said on Tuesday that it has banned TikTok from its networks and begun to remove the China-owned app from government-issued devices over concerns about data privacy.
The University of Texas at Dallas, a separate campus, said in a message to students on Tuesday that it began removing TikTok from university-owned devices last month and would take the additional step of blocking access to TikTok on its Wi-Fi network. More than half of U.S. states have taken steps toward a partial or full ban of TikTok on government devices.
