Lazia, 31 July 2020 — At its regular session today the National Convention of 2019 passed a resolution restricting the use of TikTok on government-issued devices and official accounts across Mahuset, a decision it framed as of a piece with wider international concern over data security and foreign software dependencies.
The resolution requires all government ministries, agencies and public-sector institutions to refrain from installing or operating TikTok on any device — or through any sanctioned channel — connected to official business. It echoes a broader wave of similar measures taken earlier in the year, from the United States to Australia, where governments and defence bodies imposed restrictions over national-security concerns tied to the app’s Chinese ownership, citing data-collection practices officials judged incompatible with standards of government transparency.
The resolution also calls for a formal review of governmental internet-security policy, recommends migration to domestic or independently governed platforms, and urges agencies to bolster public trust in digital infrastructure. It applies only to official institutional apparatus; private and personal use by citizens is unaffected. The National Convention stressed that the measure was not a general cultural prohibition but a confined step to safeguard the integrity of the state’s digital systems.
