Canada has announced the dissolution of TikTok's Canadian business following a national security review of the Chinese company ByteDance Ltd., which owns the popular social media app. The decision was made to address risks associated with ByteDance's establishment of TikTok Technology Canada Inc.
Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne clarified that while the Canadian government is ordering the dissolution of TikTok's Canadian business, it will not block access to the app. Canadians will still be able to use the TikTok application and create content as they choose.
