(Reuters) - Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said Friday he plans to join other states in issuing an order to ban the use of the popular video app TikTok on government-managed devices.

Evers, a Democrat, told WISN-TV in Milwaukee he would issue the order on the Chinese-owned app early next week after consulting with FBI officials and others.
