The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday that federal employees can now download the short video app TikTok on government devices.
A 2022 law banned federal employees from using the app on government devices citing national security concerns, but a department opinion released on Friday said it no longer applies, citing a deal by TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to transfer control of the app's U.S. user data and operations to the joint venture TikTok USDS that was completed in January.
