 Canada orders closure of TikTok's business in nation, app access to continue
==========

On November 7, 2024, Canada ordered the dissolution of TikTok's business operations, citing national security risks associated with ByteDance, the parent company. Despite this order, Canadians will still have access to the TikTok app and can create content. Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne stated that the government is addressing specific risks related to ByteDance's operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada Inc. TikTok plans to challenge this order.
