division of church and state, I have both an ATT personal and a Work VZ, it keeps them separated, ones is a 12 pro other is a iphone 8

official accounts like VT trans and their twitter updates sure, but not every employee.

Nobody Except the person above and a lot of other people when this subject of banning apps is brought up. Dude literally says "All social media should be banned from state and government cell phones. There’s no reason to have any social site on there."

I also agree that you shouldn't use personal social media on your work phone, but the above sentiment is beyond dumb.

how is it not already banned on state employee cell phones.

Simple and makes sense. This guarantees it will not be implemented in State Government.

Nobody is talking about axing existing social media accounts used in an official capacity. This is about state employees using their state issued mobile phone to install TikTok for personal use.

I agree it’s a unique little museum and adds local flavor.

Not sure what “pretentiousness” the other commenter was referring to. Anything you can tour in a couple minutes can’t really be that pretentious. My kids enjoyed it back in the day. I took them to that museum, walked the trails in the park out back, then went to Snowflake Chocolates around the corner.

the other factor is having an IT admin struggling to apply company policy over MDM to BYOD devices and users freaking out that even if the policy is not enabled to wipe their device that it still gives warnings that it could.

Forget the inherent risk of data collection, I don't want ANY personal social media on state funded cell phones.

So you could have a policy that says no social media apps on the phone unless necessary for job duties. Simple enough?

It’s just the hassle factor of having two phones

> TikTok and social media from employee phones is a significant decision.

Honestly - it's not a bad decision.

There are quite a few discussions on r/sysadmin about using OTP apps on personal devices. While I think that's a non-issue, I am starting to think we should all have a separate device for work.

I've seen several government bans of TikTok, but I don't understand what they're trying to accomplish. I see TikTok trackers all over the web. Are they banning just the TikTok app? Are they also banning any app that loads TikTok trackers? Are they going to blacklist every website that loads a TikTok tracker?

For example, Ally bank had a TikTok tracker on its website's account page and presumably its app for months if not years, though it seems to be gone now. Would the Ally Bank app have been banned too? How are users to know if their app has a TikTok tracker? Is the state going to provide a whitelist of apps and websites that they've audited where there is no TikTok tracker?

Maybe this is a bad way to build the web.

Suicide six is a great starter hill in the Woodstock area. Ascutney is cheap but tough to ski. Okemo and Killington will probably be packed. But Ludlow Is a nice ski town avoid the Chevy dealership tho.

Edit: S6 has a magic carpet now

Ohhh, buddy, have I ever been exactly where you are! I had a stretch of many years of spending Christmas alone.

Here’s what I thought about: Not everyone celebrates Christmas. There are tons of Jews, Quakers, Jehova Witnesses, Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists and many more. For them it’s just a day to either go to work like usual or just hang out at home. Especially since Christmas was on Sunday this year it’s kinda just another weekend.

Time for a new pair of cleats.

The rubber on those looks rotted.

The gray area is when companies or governments say to the employees, “Use your personal phone for work and we will simply reimburse you $XX per month”. Can those people have TikTok and other social media apps on their phones? If the answer is no then a lot of employees will likely say they want a work-specific phone (along with their separate personal phone). Then employers are going to have to purchase a lot of new phones which is more expensive and more work for people who purchase, disseminate, inventory, and repair/replace all of those phones. So, banning TikTok and social media from employee phones is a significant decision.

Seriously this, so many people like to forget that government services use social media to inform people. I honestly would love to hear there solution to what would replace town social media accounts.

I’m not sure about that. There is absolutely no reason for TikTok or any personal social media but the state uses other social media as a way to disseminate information.

There are some legitimate uses for work related social media on a state device. The Department of Labor posts closings and careers on Facebook. AOT links to road conditions, Fish and Wildlife posts information as well. I’m not sure any of them use TokTok though.
