Texas universities line up to ban TikTok from their networks, TikTok responds saying criticisms are 'unfounded falsehoods' - TheBlaze: 

Gov. Abbott recently ordered aggressive action against TikTok requiring that all Texas state agencies "ban the use of TikTok on any government-issued devices" over the threat of the Chinese government "gaining access to critical U.S. information and infrastructure."

The University of Texas at Austin sent a letter to students informing them that the app has been prohibited on the school's Wi-Fi and wired internet networks in response to the governor.

“The university is taking these important steps to eliminate risks to information contained in the university’s network and to our critical infrastructure,” the letter reads.
