Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds issues a directive banning access to TikTok on all state-owned devices effective immediately. Reynolds says the Chinese-owned short-form video platform poses a national security risk. The directive also prohibits state agencies from subscribing to or owning a TikTok account. Reynolds is among several governors across the U.S. to ban the app on state-owned devices.
