The TSA has banned the use of TikTok for social media outreach amid concerns about national security.
The move comes after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday called for the agency to stop using the China-owned app.
National security experts have flagged concerns about TikTok’s collection of user data.
Of special concern are laws that compel Chinese companies to support and cooperate with the intelligence work of the Chinese government.
The TSA told CNN they haven't had an official TikTok account.
However, some employees previously used the platform on their personal devices to create videos for use in TSA's social media engagement.
The Departments of Defense, State, and Homeland Security have all banned TikTok on government devices and discouraged employees from using it.
