Speaker ZMUN, I respectfully object to the final vote proceeding.

I request additional time be administered for discussion and debate.

If we are to mandate which apps can be used on a government device, it is my view that we then legislate a ban on all data-collecting applications (including Facebook) from use on government devices. I understand the security concerns of TikTok, however there may be hundreds of other such apps which pose a similar risk.

If you want some more specificity, here is from the federal law.

Wasnt the Department of Defense disbanded?

LGC 10.31 repealed LC 5.13. However, this only disbanded the Lincoln National Guard. The Dept of Defense and Security as specified in Title 3, Section 2 of the Omnibus Act remains in-place.

If you want some more specificity, here is from the federal law.

TITLE II: BANNING SPIES

Interesting - Thank you for sharing this. It appears all social media apps based out of China are already banned.

However, unless I am mistaken, the federal law does not speak to U.S.-based apps that may pose a similar risk to sensitive information.
