A federal judge in Texas on Monday upheld a ban that prevented state employees from using TikTok, the Chinese-owned short-form video app, on government devices and networks, rejecting a challenge by lawyers who argued that the prohibition had violated the First Amendment.
Universities in more than 20 states have banned TikTok in some fashion, according to the Knight First Amendment Institute, based on new rules from lawmakers who say that TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, poses a national security threat.
