Reply to comment by AllThisFakeFruit in Vermont Gov. Scott considers banning TikTok on state cellphones by blutbad_buddy

Nobody is talking about axing existing social media accounts used in an official capacity. This is about state employees using their state issued mobile phone to install TikTok for personal use.

Nobody Except the person above and a lot of other people when this subject of banning apps is brought up. Dude literally says "All social media should be banned from state and government cell phones. There’s no reason to have any social site on there."

I also agree that you shouldn't use personal social media on your work phone, but the above sentiment is beyond dumb.

Yeah, my general thought is this will end up as a knee jerk reaction which end up in bad policy because people don't think through an issue before they react.
