TikTok Canada Unit Ordered to Dissolve Operations on National-Security Concerns
Canada has ordered TikTok Technology Canada to dissolve its business operations due to national security concerns. TikTok says the order would eliminate hundreds of jobs and isn't in anyone's best interest. It will challenge the order in court. The Canadian government will not be blocking citizens' access to the TikTok app or their ability to post content on the platform. Banning the company and not the app could make things worse as the risks associated with the app will remain but the ability to hold the company accountable will be weakened.
