TikTok is prohibited from being used on most equipment of the United States federal government today

TikTok is being banned from most equipment issued by the US federal government.
On Thursday local time, US President Joe Biden signed a US $1.7 trillion government spending plan into law, which had been passed by the House of Representatives and Senate earlier this month.
In this huge program, a wide range of topics include the TikTok Act on the Prohibition of Government Equipment, which prohibits most government equipment from using TikTok.
Officials inserted the TikTok Act, which was unanimously passed by the Senate last week, into the 4155 page comprehensive bill.
In order to avoid partial suspension of the government, the expenditure plan was rapidly promoted.
It will fund the Government until September.
According to Engadget, the Biden government must now implement these rules before February 2023 to prohibit the use of social media applications by devices managed by the federal government.
Although the ban will have a broad impact, there are some exceptions.
The bill requires the Biden government to make rules to remove TikTok from government equipment by mid February.
The bill makes exceptions for elected officials, members of Congress, law enforcement officials and other officials.
Although the new law will prohibit TikTok from entering most federal government equipment, there is still no nationwide ban, but after the spending bill is passed, the route set for this purpose may be finally completed in some way in the future.
The federal government is following some states, which have passed similar bans on the use of this application on devices issued by the state government.
At present, more than a dozen states have followed suit, and many local governments have taken similar measures.
Today's news was released in the same week that Kansas and the US House of Representatives imposed similar bans.
