This is just on official devices. A congressman can use tik tok on their own phones

You aren't being infringed on as there are plenty of other, more trustworthy platforms and apps to use. Use those instead.

They can access data on your phone (sd card, photo, files, email, social media accounts etc).
If you have an iphone or know how to use your android, they can access what you've given them permission to access.
I don’t have TikTok on my phone, never had it. Chinese developed tech isn’t trustworthy. (I work in cybersecurity.)
I trust Apple’s software that lets me block access to photos, location data, contact, etc. from TikTok.
You shouldn’t.
Why not, has there ever been evidence that apple's sandboxing doesn't work? TikTok, isn't pegasus, it's an app available on the app store whose code has been vetted by apple

There is clearly a major risk to using this / having it on your device.
Why does anyone still use it at all ? Don't they understand??
No, they/we don’t. We no longer have ubiquitous access to reasonably unbiased, reasonably trustworthy news.
Question: I don’t have the app. What are the risks associated with inadvertently watching a video linked on another site — or sent via text?
Malware risk

It’s been banned on Senate devices for years.
