A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is a ban of those apps on work issued devices, not personal devices. I suspect there's a range of reasons for doing this but I don't think the apps being compromised is one of those reasons. Most likely the opposite, the apps work too well.
Yeah, I'm sure it's for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc
