Canada on Monday announced a ban on Chinese-owned social media app TikTok from government-issued devices, saying it presents an 'unacceptable' level of risk to privacy and security, adding to the growing rift between the two countries.
The ban would go into effect from Tuesday and federal employees would also be blocked from downloading the application in the future, according to a statement from Canada's Treasury Board, which oversees the public administration.
"While the risks of using this application are clear, we have no evidence at this point that government information has been compromised," she said. The ban was issued "without citing any specific security concern or contacting us with questions," a TikTok spokesperson said in an emailed statement.last week, while the U.S. Senate in December passed a bill to bar federal employees from using the app on government-owned devices. India banned TikTok in 2020.
