Secretary Ardoin Takes Stand Against TikTok

In another significant move towards securing our elections, Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin has taken a stand against Tik Tok. This week the Secretary joined with State Representative Daryl Deshotel to institute a BAN on TikTok on all state-owned smartphones. 

Over the past few years, Tik Tok has become one of the most popular social media networks, but at the cost of the American people's data security. The Chinese-based tech firm is partly owned and run by the Chinese government - meaning that all data collected on the app is going straight to President Xi and his goons. 

By banning Tik Tok on all state government devices, Ardoin will further secure our state's elections and confidential information.

Ardoin released a statement on the initiative earlier this week: 

"I am grateful to be teaming up with Representative Deshotel after his announcement that he would pre-file a bill to ban the Chinese-owned TikTok on state-issued devices. TikTok is a threat to our citizens' personal data and has no business on any device owned by the State of Louisiana. Representative Deshotel and I believe we should be doing everything we can to protect our constituents' personally identifiable information. This bill will help do just that."

This common-sense bill will go before the legislature this spring. We look forward to making it law and defending our state from Communist Chinese data breaches.
