"The Mamdani administration is committed to using every tool in our toolbox to communicate with New Yorkers. At a moment when people are turning to city government for information about free services, emergency situations, upcoming events, and more, we want to open up new avenues of communication with the public and help deliver the information New Yorkers need."
"In August 2023, then-mayor Adams barred the use of TikTok on government devices, joining the ranks of other state and federal agencies that at the time deemed the app a major security risk."
"Agencies will be required to use separate, government-issued devices for the app that cannot contain sensitive or restricted data, and they cannot be used for email, internal systems, or privileged access."
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is allowing local agencies to use TikTok for communication, reversing a ban from the previous administration. The decision aims to enhance communication with New Yorkers regarding services and events. Agencies must follow new security protocols, using separate government-issued devices that do not store sensitive data. The previous ban had led to the shutdown of several popular city-run TikTok accounts, which will now be reinstated under the new guidelines.
