  • TikTok has challenged a Canadian government order to shut down the Chinese video-sharing app's business operations in the country that was imposed over national security concerns. The company said Tuesday that it filed an application for a judicial review with the Federal Court in Vancouver on Dec.

TikTok has filed a legal challenge against the Canadian government's decision to ban the app from government-issued devices, arguing that the ban lacks evidence of any actual security threat posed by the platform. The lawsuit, lodged in the Canadian Federal Court, contends that the government's actions are based on speculative and unsubstantiated concerns about data privacy and security. TikTok asserts that it has implemented robust measures to protect user data and has not shared Canadian user data with the Chinese government. The company is seeking a judicial review to have the ban overturned, highlighting that other social media platforms are not subjected to similar scrutiny despite similar data practices. This legal action underscores the ongoing global tensions regarding data privacy, national security, and the operations of Chinese-owned tech companies in foreign jurisdictions.
