US to ban TikTok on government devices

<p>Considering the national affairs&rsquo; privacy, the US govt is on its way to banning the use of TikTok on government devices issued to federal employees. The &lsquo;No TikTok on Government Devices Act&rdquo; was passed in the US Senate and will be taken up for a vote. 60% of TikTok&rsquo;s user base belongs to the US, the firm said last year. The Trump govt is also considering a broader ban on other Chinese apps. Recently, GoI also banned 59 Chinese apps.</p>
