Canadian privacy authorities criticized TikTok for inadequate measures to keep children off the platform and protect their personal information. Federal Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne stated that TikTok must improve its data collection explanations and underage assurance methods. The investigation revealed that a significant percentage of young people in Quebec have TikTok accounts, raising concerns about data profiling and privacy policies. The Canadian government decided against blocking the app but ordered the dissolution of its Canadian business after a national security review.
