The Westminster City Council voted April 5 to ban the controversial social media app, TikTok, and websites made by China-based Bytedance Ltd., calling them a “security risk” to city networks.

The resolution, approved on a 5–0 vote, bans the download and use of TikTok and prohibits personal phones from using it while accessing the city’s wifi.
