I have heard about cases where uneven application of policy is seen as discrimination. I wonder if they now have to fire anyone else they learn has a TikTok account.

"At-will" means at will, unless you're being fired for being a member of a protected class. TikTok users are not a protected class. You can be fired for wearing ugly shoes, chewing too loud, or because it amused the boss on an overcast Thursday morning.

edit: so maybe, I guess, to defend against the argument that they were fired for salary disclosure?

    Exactly, if you fire the only black guy on the team for wearing a blue tie but other people wear them as well it could be argued you lied about the reason.
