One of the current dangers of TikTok is that it gets used as a search engine by 10 to 30-year-olds, when it's obvious that TikTok isn't a search engine. There are also clearly serious risks of sending data about Canadian users to the Chinese Communist Party government.
The United States set a 270-day deadline before it will be blocking TikTok at the beginning of 2025, and Canada needs to consider doing so as well. TikTok has become a major source of information among young people. It has also become a search engine used by many young people instead of Google. This might give rise to serious concerns about the future.
Of course, TikTok is primarily used for social networking and entertainment, and it is not a news network.
