TikTok banned on devices issued by US House of Representatives

Politicians ordered to delete Chinese-owned social video app that House has said represents ‘high risk to users’

TikTok has been banned from any devices issued by the US House of Representatives, as political pressure continues to build on the Chinese-owned social video app.

The order to delete the app was issued by Catherine Szpindor, the chief administrative officer of the House, whose office had warned in August that the app represented a “high risk to users”.
