Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she is active on Chinese-owned TikTok because it remains a vital communication tool despite widespread concerns over privacy and national security that have prompted some governors to ban the app on state devices.
“We have it on one device that has no access to anything else,” she told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “Because so many people get their information that way. Whether we like it or not, that is a tool for disseminating important information and that’s how we use it.”
“It is a communication tool. We don’t do it because it’s fun, although some people think what I put out there can be fun on occasion,” she said.
