Reply to comment by Caleb2099 in TikTok is now banned on mobile devices issued by US House of Representatives by nacorom

“Now”? How the eff are people allowed social media on their employer device to begin with?

I suppose my employer doesn’t specifically ban tik Tok, but that’s because only work related apps are allowed. With how cheap and ubiquitous laptops and smart phones are, I don’t se how this even comes up

because each office has one or more press secretaries that manage official social media accounts

I mean Twitter just had the last president who lived on Twitter before getting kicked off to live on his new social network. Everyone was fine with that, but AOC? Nah, that's just not right..

NO, probably shitty wording. Was meaning that for a while people have bitched about AOC and her social media use while in the government. Meanwhile the same people staring at twitter, waiting for Drumpy to tweet something new.

You could easily argue that ex-president would have been better off if only a specific marketing department had access to social media. You could also argue that with his being the center of the universe and prioritizing loyalty over honesty, competency, etc, that he would be on board with the general idea even if he didn’t think it applies to him

For those cases where the executive thinks they don’t need any filters (I’m looking at you, Musk), I suppose that still fits the criteria of the only exceptions being those whose job it is.
