Summary
The Justice Department just dropped a major update: that federal ban on TikTok on government devices no longer stands — but only because the law only applied to the old, China-owned version of the app. With TikTok’s U.S. operations now run by mostly American investors, agencies can freely decide whether to allow it on their devices — for productivity, security, or management reasons. While the legal cloud has lifted, concerns over data privacy and foreign influence linger, and the real debate is just beginning.
