The ban applies to all county-issued devices, including desktop computers, laptops and cell phones.
Lancaster County employees are now banned from accessing TikTok on county-issued devices.
While announcing the ban Monday, county commissioners said the decision was made to avoid cybersecurity threats. The ban applies to other “data harvesting software,” but Lancaster County did not specifically name any other apps in a Monday news release. “TikTok, alongside other data harvesting software, poses a significant risk to the cyber security of the County of Lancaster by capturing data on a user’s internet activity and sensitive information,” the Lancaster County commissioners said.
Commissioners said the ban applies to all county-issued devices, including desktop computers, laptops, servers, tablets and cell phones. It also includes devices using Lancaster County internet networks. “Taking threats to cyber security seriously is imperative to continuing good governance in Lancaster County,” Commissioner Ray D’Agostino said. “I want to thank our Information Technology Department for keeping county operations, employees, and those who interact with our network, safe.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
