While not exactly the very latest, this news is news to me:

https://www.wric.com/news/politics/capitol-connection/virginia-senate-passes-tiktok-ban-on-government-devices-with-tie-breaking-vote/amp/

Along mostly partisan lines, the Republicans relied on the tie breaking vote of republican lieutenant governor Winsome Sears, a woman of color.

Why do democrats want TikTok to remain on government issued devices in Virginia?

The vote here should have been unanimous.[/quote]

The last time Republicans got all xenophobic about China, Michigan ended up with a new factory and a shit ton of jobs. So my guess is that since Democrats are better stewards of Virginia’s economy, their vote against this stupid legislation was intended to send a signal about it being a waste of time and a solution in search of a problem. Because I mean, really, how many employees were keeping TikTok on state-issued devices to begin with? I’m guessing next to none. [/quote]

Right. Next to none, except those who's jobs almost require it.

It's fine for them to ban TikTok, I don't use it because it probably is Chinese spyware  ultimately, but Virginia republicans seem to be on some sort of anti china PR bender for votes that doesn't help the state. Hope Wisconsin enjoys their jobs. [/quote]

I don’t care if the Chinese spy on me — they will be pretty bored. [/quote]

Nothing to hide, right?[/quote]

Precisely [/quote]
