House staffers received an email Tuesday from the Capitol’s Office of Cybersecurity stating that all apps owned by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, CapCut, Hypic, Lark, and Lemon8, will be removed and banned from House-managed devices. The Committee on House Administration previously banned TikTok only from House-managed devices in December 2023.

“ByteDance products will be blocked and removed on House-managed devices, starting with mobile devices,” the email said.
