And how the fuck do they plan on enforcing it when anyone can turn off wifi with a toggle switch?
This is stupid. Beyond stupid.
They're only going to enforce it on their networks, if you want to run it on your cell that's up to you. I think the point is to discourage it overall. If every institution makes the hurdle to use it higher, that will stem the use of it on campus.
What exactly would be the OpSec justification for blocking it?
If the only speed bump you're putting in front of addicts is a toggle switch you're not going to stop anyone.
M8 one more time: it is not about stopping students from using tiktok, it is about preventing tiktok from being accessed on the school network. No one cares if you turn off wifi and go on tiktok, that is literally what they want you to do if you wish to access it.
I think you are seriously underestimating the laziness of your average college student, but that's just my opinion.
