The federal government has joined its partners in the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network in banning the use of TikTok on government-issued mobile devices. However, the ban does not apply to government-owned entities such as the ABC, NBNCo and Australia Post. TikTok is among the social platforms on which the ABC publishes news content, and the public broadcaster will review its use of the popular app in the wake of the government’s decision. Australia Post is also reviewing its use of TikTok, while NBN Co has advised that it ceased using TikTok for corporate social media communications earlier in 2023 and will review it use by employees on company-issued devices.
