New Delhi. Some time ago Chinese apps were banned in India including Sabji and Tiktok. Now after India, Canada has also banned the Chinese app Tiktok. Canada has announced this on Monday. Canada has imposed this ban on government issued devices. Canada has said that this ban is unacceptable and full of risks for privacy and security. This information has been given by quoting Reuters. According to the statement issued by the Government of Canada, this ban imposed on Tiktok will be effective from 28 February. With this effective, Tiktok will be removed from the mobile devices issued by the government. The Government of Canada has taken this decision keeping cyber security in mind.
Let us tell you that India and Canada and India are not the first countries where this work has been done. There have been reports of tussle in many countries regarding Tiktok. Recently, a similar action like Canada came against Tiktok in America as well. Tiktok was banned by the European Commission from its devices. In fact, America was worried about the fact that the Chinese government could force Tiktok to hand over personal information of Tiktok users. This is not good for the safety of the users.
Significantly, after the decision taken by Canada in this regard, these reports have also come out that Tiktok’s spokesperson is surprised by this decision and says that Canada has taken this decision without any discussion with the company.
