The White House gave government agencies 30 days to ensure they do not have Chinese-owned social media app TikTok on federal devices and systems, according to Reuters’ David Shepardson. Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young said in a memorandum seen by Reuters that they "will be required to adjust information technology contracts to ensure vendors keep U.S. data safe by eliminating the use of TikTok on their devices and systems." The action does not affect the more than 100M Americans who use TikTok on private or company-owned devices, the report added. Companies in the space include Meta Platforms (META), Snap (SNAP), and Twitter. Reference Link
