(CNN) — Kansas governor Laura Kelly signed an executive order Wednesday banning the social media platform TikTok from all state-owned devices.
Kansas joins at least seven other states that want to bar the Chinese-owned app from Government devices over privacy concerns.
Governor Kelly accused TikTok of mining user data and potentially making it available to the Chinese government.
Kansas government entities will have 30 days to implement changes before TikTok is blocked.
The trump administration threatened to ban TikTok over national security concerns in 2020.
Since then, TikTok and the US government have been negotiating a deal that may allow the short-form video app to keep serving users in the US.
