But, what does that actually achieve besides limiting Canada’s ability to, for example, seize assets? TikTok, being a digital platform, isn’t very dependent on regional presence; it’s not like you’ve gotta head to their offices to post/view content.

How does this actually ‘harm’ TikTok and/or protect Canadians?
I would imagine this also prevents canadian influencers from earning money on tiktok. Maybe Canada is trying to limit the control byte dance has over so many Canadians’ income, who knows
Yeah but thats what has confused me too about these “bans” is I don’t see the strategy of it. Good points, I got nothing, but open to ideas as I’m highly curious since it’s been also of course the US doing this.
I think it’s to mean that the company can’t have any actual operations taking place on Canadian soil maybe? Like no offices/servers etc.?
