FIU bans access to TikTok from internal WiFi network
MIAMI - The popular video app TikTok has been banned by all Florida public universities.
In the case of FIU, students found out Wednesday and many are not happy, but some seem to agree with the decision.
Students found out at around 1 p.m. that the app had been banned from the university's wifi system.
Surprisingly, some students at the south campus agreed with the decision by the Board of Governors for the State University System of Florida.
They are assigned by the legislature to operate, regulate, control, and manage the entire public university system.
In March, they amended pre-existing regulations so universities across the state had the right to prohibit the use of TikTok.
"Honestly, you should do it, there's so many people of my generation, instead of focusing on your goals," said Juan Sebastian Sotelo, who agreed with the decision.
"I'm neutral about it. I don't have any spefic opinion on this, really," said Michale Oropesa.
"I feel like why would they do it, TikTok is used for entertainment, we all go to TikTok and we all laugh," said another student.
The college mentioned the measures were being taken to protect students and the university against cyber threats.
