Ontario is considering banning TikTok in public schools, Minister of Education Stephen Lecce says.
Lecce made the comments to reporters during an unrelated news conference in Mississauga Friday morning. It comes one day after the Ford government announced that it would remove the app on all government-issued devices.
“That is a decision point that we will communicate on,” Lecce said when asked whether the ban could be extended to schools on Friday. “We obviously share a very profound concern about the privacy impacts for young people.” He said that he spoke with senior ministry officials about the matter as recently as Thursday and plans to continue those discussions.
