New York City Mayor Zuhran Mamdani announced on March 31 that the city would allow the resumption of use of the short-video social media platform TikTok on government electronic devices. On the same day, Mamdani posted a message on the platform saying, "TikTok, we're back." According to the Associated Press, a memo from the mayor's office shows that the New York City government is allowing departments to post content on the social media platform, a policy adjustment aimed at expanding the reach of the city government's information dissemination. The memo states, "We hope to open new channels for communication with the public and help deliver the information that New Yorkers need." The memo also requires that official departmental accounts adhere to a series of security measures, including using dedicated devices without sensitive data and designating specific personnel to manage the accounts.
