TikTok banned on all House-issued mobile devices - because Democrats are stupid.

Lawmakers and staffers must delete TikTok from any House-issued 
mobile phones and are prohibited from downloading the popular 
app on such devices, according to an internal memo obtained by 
NBC News.

The memo, sent Tuesday by Catherine L. Szpindor, the chief 
administrative officer of the House, said the ban comes after 
her office’s cybersecurity unit found TikTok to be a "high risk 
to users due to a number of security risks."

All lawmakers and staffers were directed to delete the app from 
their phones.

"House staff are NOT allowed to download the TikTok app on any 
House mobile devices," the memo said. "If you have the TikTok 
app on your House mobile device, you will be contacted to remove 
it."

A representative for TikTok did not immediately respond to a 
request for comment.

A measure banning TikTok on some government devices was included 
in the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill Congress passed last 
week. The provision included a ban of the app and of any 
application provided by TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, 
based in Beijing, on all executive Branch devices; it did not 
apply to members of Congress and their staffs.

The directive from the House does not apply to the Senate, where 
some members, including Marco Rubio, R-Fla., have called for the 
app to be completely banned in the U.S.

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned members of Congress after 
the midterm elections that the Chinese government could use 
TikTok to control users’ devices for influence or espionage 
purposes.

The company said last week it was working to "meaningfully 
address any security concerns that have been raised at both the 
federal and state level. These plans have been developed under 
the oversight of our country’s top national security agencies — 
plans that we are well underway in implementing — to further 
secure our platform in the United States, and we will continue 
to brief lawmakers on them."
