TikTok banned on government devices in Australia and Arizona universities.

Australia has banned TikTok from federal government devices based on intelligence and security agencies' advice, becoming the last of the Five Eyes security partners to do so. TikTok, owned by Chinese company Bytedance, has denied sharing data with the Chinese government and is carrying out a project to store US user data in Texas. The European Parliament and EU Council have also imposed bans on TikTok on staff devices. India imposed a nationwide ban on TikTok and other Chinese apps in 2020 over privacy and security concerns.
