The Broadbent Institute is keeping TikTok as a sponsor during their upcoming conference, despite rising national security concerns from the government of Canada regarding the popular app.
"We have a fundraising approach that makes clear sponsors do not direct the Institute, and our good work speaks for itself," Jen Hassum, executive director of the Broadbent Institute, said in a statement.
The chief information officer of Canada completed a review of the Chinese-owned video-sharing platform and determined it posed an "unacceptable" level of risk to privacy and security. Singh, along with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, are among those who have said they will suspend their use of TikTok.
A law China implemented in 2017 requires companies to give the government any personal data relevant to the country's national security, but there's been no evidence TikTok has turned over information.
