TikTok offices in Canada ordered to close due to national security concerns
ByteDance Ltd., the company behind TikTok, was proposing to build a local unit under the name “TikTok Technology Canada Inc.” Last year, the Canadian authorities began reviewing the firm’s growth proposal. Unfortunately, the government’s decision to eliminate TikTok’s commercial presence in the nation put an end to that idea, even if it also meant hundreds of local employment would be lost. The good news is that, for the time being at least, Canadians may still use the mobile applications and visit the website.
According to a statement by Canadian Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne,
“The decision was based on the information and evidence collected over the course of the review and on the advice of Canada’s security and intelligence community and other government partners.”
Obviously, this doesn’t stop TikTok from taking this decision to court in the hope of a favorable decision.
While civilians can use TikTok unhindered, the app has already been banned from government-issued devices. The officials labeled it as having “an unacceptable level of risk to privacy and security” to justify that decision.
In the US, the Chinese social media giant is currently fighting Biden’s law that gave ByteDance a deadline (January 19th) to sell TikTok or face a ban. According to US officials, Chinese-based ownership of the company is a threat to national security.
