NYC bans TikTok on government devices over security concerns

New York City has banned TikTok on all city-owned devices due to cybersecurity concerns.
The ban goes into effect immediately, with city agencies given 30 days to delete TikTok.
The decision follows an assessment by the NYC Cyber Command deeming TikTok a threat.
TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance has faced scrutiny over data privacy and ties to the Chinese government.
Other states and the federal government have implemented similar bans on TikTok for government employees.
