Delta Air Lines is banning TikTok on employees' personal cell phones if those same devices are used to access any work-related programs.
Delta Air Lines is banning TikTok on employees' personal cell phones if those same devices are used to access any work-related programs.
The move follows a similar rule from Southwest Airlines that prohibited the use of TikTok across its network. Southwest did not, however, impose the rule across personal devices used by its employees. In a memo reviewed by The Points Guy, and confirmed to TPG by multiple airline employees, Delta cited a U.S. rule that government contractors cannot have TikTok — or any program owned by parent company ByteDance — on devices used to conduct government work.
Employees with devices that access any Delta systems have until end-of-day Friday to remove the app, according to TPG. Devices using work systems refer to anything relating to Delta, including the employee intranet, but also email, scheduling and other programs that many employees use on their personal phones.It is not clear whether Delta will continue to use its TikTok social media channel.
A poll conducted by the Pew Research Center showed that 50% of Americans fully supported the idea of the U.S. government banning the app.
