Recent weeks have seen bans on the video platform TikTok from a variety of entities. President Joe Biden recently signed legislation that includes a provision banning the application from phones and computers issued by federal agencies. In addition, a dozen states such as Alabama, Maryland, New Hampshire, Texas, and Virginia have implemented similar prohibitions on devices used by their employees. Similarly, numerous universities such as Auburn, University of Georgia, Boise State, University of Iowa, University of Oklahoma, and the University of Texas have banned the app on university-issued phones and from campus Wi-Fi networks. And bans such as these are far from a new concept for American institutions.
