Minister, with all due respect, the legal regime that governs the information TikTok collects from Canadians' mobile devices is, in fact, Canada's legal regime. If you have concerns with Canada's privacy laws, you should pass Bill C-27. https://twitter.com/...

Following similar moves in the United States and EU, the Canadian government on Monday banned TikTok from all of its workers' phones and other devices, citing concerns about data protection. https://u.afp.com/ierz https://twitter.com/...

The government has found time to rush through regulating user content in Bill C-11 and mandating payments for links in Bill C-18, but can't find time to address privacy rules it says cause concern and led to a TikTok ban on government devices. Priorities? https://twitter.com/... …

The next step will be to recognize that we cannot allow such a powerful data & influence platform to operate in our country when controlled by a foreign power. 2/2 https://erinotoole.substack.com/ ...

As @deEyre of TikTok point out, this is pretty stunning admission from a government minister. Even the Canadian government has concerns about the state of Canadian privacy law. Yet it has done nothing about it for years with no urgency on privacy reform. https://twitter.com/...

SCOOP: The federal government is banning TikTok on government devices as of Feb. 28 because the app's data collection policies create vulnerabilities to cyber threats. My story for @nationalpost: https://nationalpost.com/...
