The Canadian government is taking action to protect its employees and the security of its information systems and networks. As of February 28, the popular social media app TikTok will be automatically removed and blocked from use on all government-issued mobile devices. The decision was made by the Chief Information Officer of Canada, who said that the app may leave users vulnerable to cyber attacks. “It is important that government employees and departments use secure mobile devices and applications,” the officials said in a note to employees. The Canadian government is not the first to take action against the app. The United States and India have already banned TikTok from government-issued devices, citing security concerns. TikTok has responded to the ban, stating that the company is “committed to protecting user data and privacy” and is “working with the Canadian government to ensure that the app meets the highest standards of security and privacy.” The ban on TikTok is the latest in a series of measures taken by the Canadian government to ensure the security of its information systems and networks. The government has also implemented a number of initiatives to help protect Canadians from cyber threats.
