TikTok and Other Apps Banned at Florida Universities

All Florida state universities, including the University of Florida, Florida State University, and Florida Atlantic University, are now banned from using campus Wi-Fi or school-owned devices to access TikTok due to potential security risks. The ban is in compliance with an emergency regulation adopted by the State University System Board of Governors on March 29, which requires apps like TikTok to be removed from all university-owned devices immediately and for UF to block network traffic from these platforms. UF also urged deleting such apps from personal devices.
