The House’s cybersecurity operation plans to initiate the block and removal of all ByteDance products from all House-managed devices and app stores, Politico’s Katherine Tully-McManus reports, citing a notice sent to House staffers Tuesday. The process will begin August 15, Tully-McManus writes. The House Administration Committee previously authorized the removal TikTok from House devices, but this latest purge will include apps such as Capcut, Lemon8, Lark and Hypic. Publicly traded companies in the social media space that compete with TikTok include Meta Platforms (META), Alphabet (GOOGL), Pinterest (PINS), Reddit (RDDT) and Snap (SNAP).
