The University of Texas at Austin has joined a slew of public colleges in banning TikTok from use on campus Wi-Fi as universities look to carry out red-state officials’ orders to restrict TikTok use on government networks.
The University of Oklahoma and Auburn University both announced their plans to block TikTok on campus Wi-Fi days earlier, citing their respective governors’ executive orders to prevent use of the social media app on state networks and devices. “The university is taking these important steps to eliminate risks to information contained in the university’s network and to our critical infrastructure,” UT-Austin technology adviser Jeff Neyland wrote in an email.
More than half of the states, including some with Democratic governors, have banned use of the app on government devices as several governors look to weaken the app for apparent concern that the Chinese government will use the app’s data for nefarious purposes. The college-wide bans have kicked into gear in recent weeks, all landing in states run by Republican governors.
