Canada reverses TikTok ban, allowing operation under strict data and privacy rules.

Canada has reversed its 2024 decision to ban TikTok’s business operations, allowing the app to continue in the country under strict conditions. The government approved TikTok’s investment following a national security review, requiring the company to strengthen data protections, limit access to Canadian user information, and enhance online safety for minors. Independent oversight will ensure compliance, mirroring EU standards. TikTok must also maintain its physical presence in Canada, support Canadian creators, and expand content in official and Indigenous languages. The move preserves jobs and allows continued access to the consumer app.
