"US Gov. Agencies Have 30 Days to Remove TikTok, Canada Follows Suit"

The White House has given federal agencies 30 days to remove TikTok from all government-issued devices following the December 2022 ban on the social media app.  The announcement comes from Shalanda Young, director of the office of management and budget, who published a memorandum for executive departments and agencies on Monday.  The message stated that all executive agencies and those contracted by them must delete any application from TikTok and its China-based parent company, ByteDance, within 30 days of the notice.  Further, within 90 days, agencies must include in contracts that the video app cannot be used on devices and must cancel existing contracts that require the app's use.  The 30-day deadline comes hours before Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced banning TikTok from all government-issued mobile devices.
