Auburn banned TikTok, and students can't stop talking about it.
Destini Ambus, a senior at Auburn University in Alabama, was so surprised last month about a new ban of TikTok on state-owned devices and internet networks that she read the news alert about it aloud to her friends.
The ban has left students at Auburn surprised and bemused, they said in conversations with The New York Times, especially because they are still able to access TikTok by switching to their data plans on their phones. Most seem prepared to work around it. But there is also change underway: The campus television station said that it would probably delete its nascent TikTok account, for example.
Students at Auburn say that TikTok is a form of entertainment — but it is also woven into campus life, with people using its short-form videos to highlight the school’s football team, sorority recruitment and occasional shopping trends. Franco said that she was not concerned about the security risks prompting the ban — a sentiment echoed by other students, including Hunt.
