The Biden administration has reportedly established a loophole allowing certain government employees to continue using TikTok, even if the app is banned. This information comes from a leaked document signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The loophole specifically applies to staff within the State Department's public relations bureau. Critics have raised concerns about the implications of this decision, questioning the rationale behind permitting government officials to access an app deemed a potential risk for data collection. This development has drawn parallels to previous discussions about data security practices within government agencies.
