The Canadian Government has ordered the social media app TikTok, which is owned by a Chinese company, to close its offices in the country after a national security review. The Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development issued the news publicly on Wednesday (November 6). “As a result of a multi-step national security review process, which involves rigorous scrutiny by Canada’s national security and intelligence community, the Government of Canada has ordered the wind up of the Canadian business carried on by TikTok Technology Canada, Inc.,” Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in a statement. The statement says the government is taking this action to address the “specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada, Inc.” The decision was said to be based on information and evidence collected over the course of the review and on the advice of Canada’s security and intelligence community, along with other government partners. While the government has ordered the shutdown of its business in Canada, they aren’t blocking access to the app. “The government is not blocking Canadians’ access to the TikTok application or their ability to create content.
