Even though more than 75% of states imposed a TikTok ban for government-issued devices, Tim Walz failed to usher in a similar ban in Minnesota.
"That equivalence goes to, I think, a broader confusion on the left that privacy is a protection from ourselves, from these big businesses. Not a protection from the government," said Trent England, executive director of Save Our States, a conservative nonprofit dedicated to defending the constitutional power of states. "They're more trusting toward state actors in general… Elon Musk, however powerful people think he is, he's not the Chinese Communist Party."
Walz's decision not to implement a TikTok ban on Minnesota's government-issued devices stands in contrast with the actions of numerous other states, and is also out of step with the Biden administration.
