Congress enacted a ban on the social media platform in the fiscal 2023 spending bill over concerns on security risks associated with its Chinese ownership.

The IRS is trying to find a workaround so some of its employees can use TikTok to crack down on misinformation campaigns on the platform.

Agencies can seek exemption from the ban for some activities, including for law enforcement, national security interests, and security research.
