Canada: Court sets aside TikTok shutdown order

Source: CTV News [Canada]

“The Federal Court has set aside a government order for TikTok to wind down operations in Canada, meaning the social media company can keep running its offices here while the industry minister conducts another review. In 2024, the Liberal government ordered TikTok to close its offices in Canada, citing national security concerns, but stopped short of banning the app for users. On Wednesday, a federal judge shelved the government’s order and requested that Industry Minister Melanie Joly conduct a new review. A TikTok Canada spokesperson says the tech company welcomes the decision and looks forward to working with Joly.” (01/21/26)
