Chinese-owned firm’s operation falls foul of official review, though Canadian users will be able to use video app as usual

Canada has ordered TikTok to shut down its operations in the country after conducting a security review, but users will not be barred from accessing the video app or uploading content to it.

The Canadian government said it was demanding the winding up of TikTok’s business in the country due to “specific national security risks”. It currently has offices in Vancouver and Toronto.
