La version française suit.

Dear members of the McGill community,

Effective immediately, please be advised that the application TikTok must not be installed on any mobile device (i.e., mobile phone or tablet) that has been provided to you by the University, or on any mobile device for which McGill covers the cost of the mobile service. If you currently have TikTok installed on your McGill mobile device, you must remove it immediately.
