A decision from Florida’s Board of Governors bans TikTok from school-owned devices and public Wi-Fi on public university campuses across the state.
Leaders fear the Chinese government could be using the social media app to access personal information.
Obviously, there’s not some sort of force field or magic blocker to stop people from going onto TikTok on their personal phones and devices while they’re on the campus, but in Florida, if they’re on a public university campus, and they’re using the campus’ Wi-Fi, they are not going to be able to use the app.
“It would be naïve of us to think that is not in their plans,” Elfayoumy said. “Even if I believe them now, I cannot believe them in the future.” Students on UNF’s campus, like Kelley and Korsoh, offered varied opinions Thursday about the campus Wi-Fi ban for TikTok.
