@attap.kia: After years of warning that TikTok posed a national security risk, the US Justice Department has now said federal agencies may allow employees to install TikTok on official government devices again. The reason is that TikTok’s US operations are now under a separate joint venture, with ByteDance holding 19.9% and no longer having control. This is not a blanket approval. Each federal agency can still decide whether to allow TikTok based on its own security and workplace policies. Still, quite a turnaround. A few years ago, TikTok was supposedly too dangerous for a government phone. So was TikTok really the threat? Or was the real issue always about who controlled it? #TiktokBan #SGTikTok #TikTokSG #TechNews
