TikTok Banned From University of Texas Campus on Cybersecurity Concerns

The University of Texas at Austin has banned the use of TikTok on the campus’s networks after state and national leaders expressed concerns about the social media app’s ties to China and the large amount of user data it collects.

The school said Tuesday that it’s permanently blocking TikTok’s access on its systems, prohibiting devices to use the app on the university wired or WiFi networks.
