Australia’s national security chiefs have been asked to make a determination on whether Australia should ban the social media app TikTok from all government agencies.

The move comes after the Biden Administration order on Feb. 27 that all federal agencies had just 30 days to wipe TikTok from all government devices in a bid to keep U.S. data safe.
