Canadian politicians have started deactivating their TikTok accounts after the federal government and House of Commons both decided to ban the app from their devices.
The application has come under increased scrutiny in Canada and elsewhere because the Chinese government has a stake in its owner, ByteDance, and Chinese laws allow the country to demand access to user data.
New Democratic Leader Jagmeet Singh says he plans to suspend his account by the end of Tuesday, but did not say whether all of his MPs would follow suit. While a postelection debrief report said social media helped the NDP build support, especially with younger voters, it also pointed out there was a suggestion that Singh's popularity on TikTok “makes him appear 'less serious.”'
The decision followed a review by the chief information officer of Canada, who determined that TikTok posed an “unacceptable” level of risk to privacy and security.
