    This is like saying teachers are banned from using trojan brand condoms at work.

    1. This is just one of many apps that could be a problem, banning one solves nothing
    2. The entire category of social media apps has no place on a work device (except if you are in marketing)
    3. If it’s not a work related app, it shouldn’t be on the work device full stop. Idgaf if it’s fucking Google sheets, if you’re not using it for work purposes it doesn’t belong there

    This new law is like 3 levels of abstraction away from actually addressing any problem, and likely wasn’t a problem in the first place for any competent organization.
