New York City has lifted an almost three-year ban, once again permitting city employees and agencies to use the Chinese social media platform TikTok to post content.
On Tuesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the policy reversal in a TikTok video, saying "TikTok, we're back."
A memo from the Mayor's Office declared that city departments are now allowed to start posting on TikTok, a change intended to expand the reach of the city government's information dissemination.
"We want to open up new avenues of communication with the public and help deliver the information New Yorkers need," the memo reads.
The memo also requires all departments to comply with a series of security precautions when managing official TikTok accounts, including dedicating separate devices that can't contain sensitive data and designating specific staffers.
In 2023, New York joined governments across the U.S. in banning TikTok from its governmental devices over unfounded security concerns.
