TikTok gets green light to stay in Canada, reversing earlier ban
AI Summary
Canada has reversed its previous order to ban TikTok, allowing the social media platform to continue operating in the country. The initial ban, issued in November 2024 under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, would have forced TikTok's Canadian division to close due to security concerns. However, the order was set aside in January following a legal motion, shortly after current Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China where he negotiated relaxed tariffs with President Xi Jinping. Industry Minister Melanie Joly announced that TikTok Technology Canada will now be allowed to operate under new legally binding commitments to enhance security. These commitments include implementing security gateways and privacy-enhancing technologies to control access to Canadian user data and reduce unauthorized access.
