“Delta is committed to securing our digital infrastructure and protecting the security and privacy of our business,” the airline said.
Southwest Airlines also implemented a similar ban.
“Southwest maintains contracts with various government agencies.”
“As a federal contractor, we are required to adhere to this guidance and accordingly, TikTok is inaccessible via the Southwest network.”
