A lot of these are partial bans. Canada for example only bans it for government issued phones which makes sense, there shouldn't be any apps let alone social media apps on those devices.

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it's banned, it's a government worker policy.

And it’s also only banned on work devices. There’s no ban on government employees having TikTok on their personal phones, although I personally don’t.

Sure. Exactly the same in France.
