New York – It’s no secret that the social media app TikTok is one of the most popular platforms, with over 1 billion users.

31 states have banned apps from all government devices, including New Jersey. New York has proposed legislation to do the same.
A federal bill banning the app from government devices goes into effect later this month.
So what is a threat and what does it mean for the average user? We spoke with Sherri Davidoff, cybersecurity expert and CEO of LMG Security.
