Reply to comment by 9-11GaveMe5G in TikTok is now banned on mobile devices issued by US House of Representatives by nacorom

I don't know what the regulatory space looks like for the feds but there are regulations for a few different industries that cover mobile security. There are companies out there that just do mobile management for large mega-corps. Tens of thousands of mobile devices under management.

I did IT for a military contractor and they are not even allowed to install anything without IT doing it and for IT to do it they need management and security approval. I can't imagine how they impose this regulation for a contractor but not for actual Fed employees.

At this point you can leverage Microsoft In-Tune to manage app installs for mobile devices and to be fucking honest should already be in place with tight restrictions. If they don't, then we as a nation are fucked as government phones are not being restricted from installing/running any app in the playstores and we already know how many unsafe apps are out there that only get removed later.
