TikTok is already banned from employee devices for some branches of the US government as well as several states due to privacy concerns. The social video app now finds itself on Canada’s ban list.
The Canadian government will ban the use of TikTok on government-issued mobile devices starting Tuesday, according to a statement from Mona Fortier, the president of Canada’s Treasury Board. The move came after the chief information officer of Canada determined the app presents an “unacceptable level of risk to privacy and security.”
