TikTok banned on Charlotte city employee work phones, NC lawmakers call on Gov. Cooper to do the sam

A growing number of government entities continue to ban TikTok from work devices as concerns grow over the app's security issues.

The city of Charlotte has joined the list of these entities and is planning to completely remove TikTok from all city devices by Jan. 6, 2023. According to a city of Charlotte spokesperson, the move is due to a warning from the FBI about potential national security concerns associated with the app.

City of Charlotte officials blocked TikTok on the city's network on Dec. 21 and notified employees that the app would be removed from city devices in the near future.
