Gov. Greg Abbott gives Texas state agencies until Feb. 15 to ban TikTok
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said on Monday that state agencies will have until Feb. 15 to implement a new statewide security plan to ban the popular Chinese social media app TikTok. Abbott's move comes amid growing concerns from U.S. officials, including FBI Director Chris Wray, that the app operated by Chinese-based software company Byte Dance could be used to steal users data. Even so, Abbott ratcheted up the hysteria a couple of notches, suggesting in a statement that "Chinese Communist Party members" in the company's workforcer could have their sights on Texas' valuable data.
