Tennessee is taking steps to ban video-sharing app TikTok from government devices alongside a wave of states banning the app due to growing concerns over cybersecurity.

In a statement to WKRN, Gov. Bill Lee’s office said the state “has also taken additional steps to block the access of TikTok” on any personal or state-owned device that connects to the state network.
