TikTok’s Canadian arm has been ordered to shut down by the government.
Industry minister François-Philippe Champagne says the government is acting “to address the specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada.”

TikTok has responded, saying it would challenge the order in court.
