Wisconsin and North Carolina have joined at least 20 other states to ban the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok from state devices amid growing concerns over threats to national security.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said in a Jan, 12 statement, “It’s important for us to protect state information technology from foreign countries that have actively participated in cyberattacks.”
