Canada examines TikTok's national security risks. TikTok has for several months been in the crosshairs of American authorities who believe that the application of short videos potentially allows the Chinese government to spy on and manipulate American citizens.
The American House of Representatives adopted a text on Wednesday which, in the event of a favorable vote in the Senate, would force the popular application to cut ties with its Chinese parent company ByteDance, under penalty of ban in the United States. Canada banned the entertainment application from government smartphones in February 2023.
