Kentucky is the latest state to ban TikTok from government devices.

The accelerating backlash by states against TikTok, which has at least 100 million users in the United States, extends to states governed by Republicans and Democrats, and spans all regions of the country. Many of the states have singled out TikTok for executive action, with governors prohibiting the social media platform from government networks and devices. But some have gone further — adding other apps with links to China to their ban lists, including WeChat and AliPay.

Nearly two dozen states announced restrictions late last year amid reports that a negotiation between TikTok and the US government had stalled over whether the company could continue offering its services in the United States. A potential national security deal is still under review, TikTok has said, adding that it believes a mutual agreement with federal officials is the best way to resolve the security concerns.
