The State University System of Florida Board of Governors recently instated a ban on the popular social media app TikTok, as well as a number of other software and applications, from school-owned devices at state universities due to the "continued and increasing landscape of cyber threats". This positive change has been put in place in order to protect faculty, staff, and students' personal data.
Despite the sudden change, several Florida A&M University students, who used the app, raised concerns over the ban, citing it as a limitation on free speech. However, TikTok officials have made it more than clear that security isn't a threat while using the app, and that it is used by more than 150 million Americans to engage in the classroom. As a result, the State University System of Florida Board of Governors have taken steps to ensure the safety of faculty, staff, and students' personal data by limiting access to potentially cyber-threatening technologies.
