    The probability of a war between the US and China is very high as judged by the US military. Prominently over the Taiwan situation. Having service members with tiktok on their devices would be terrible for opsec. To me this confirms that we are continuing to track on that train of thought. With that line of thinking this seems to an increased likelihood. Be careful out there folks.

    Just my thoughts…

      I thought government employees were already banned from having TikTok on their devices. Does that not also apply to military personnel?

        TikTok is banned from official devices, i.e. and phone provided by the DoD, etc. There is no ban on it being on a personal phone; just a strong recommendation against having the app.

        That just doesn’t seem very enforceable.

          How so? Have them use government equipment and restrict what gets installed on that equipment. It’s not that hard.

          They can use what they want on their personal devices, and the government can restrict access to their personal devices while they’re on duty

            Right, so not banning it on their devices, which would be hard to enforce.

              Banning on personal devices would likely be unconstitutional, unless there’s a nationwide ban. Banning on work devices is totally acceptable.
