Government phones are managed by the agency that issues them. What the law does is ensure that all agencies do not have tiktok. Pornhub will also likely appear on banned app lists, but they didn&amp;#x27;t feel it necessary to make a law.&lt;p&gt;One interesting side effect, is that tiktok might now be bereft of government content, which sounds dry, but includes a lot of NASA&amp;#x27;s work.</text><parent_chain><item><author>NikolaNovak</author><text>I get that this is a thing - isolating one specific app for very specific reasons.
