Canada bans TikTok on government devices over security risks

Canada is the most recent nation to impose a ban on TikTok on devices provided by the government, claiming it poses a "unacceptable" level of risk to security and privacy. The action highlights the growing opposition to the social networking app owned by ByteDance, the most valued start-up in the world, due to worries about its ties to the Chinese government and control over user data globally.
