Reply to comment by Rad_Dad6969 in U.S. lawmakers to include ban on TikTok on government devices - sources by thegravity98ms2

Why shouldn't they be able to ban apps, it's their devices?

They shouldn't need to create separate legislation every time a security threat arises.

They can come up with as many extra reasons as they want, and they can vote to ban anything they want. That's not my issue.

My issue is that something is creating a threat to government devices. We should have teams in place to identify these threats and clear policy on how to proceed once an application is identified as a security risk. Instead, we're leaving the call up to politicians who are twice as corruptible as they are informed.
