Not everyone in the US agrees with their government that TikTok is a security threat,
The US courts will eventually decide whether to uphold or overrule a ban on TikTok, based on the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and a citizen's right to free speech,
I suspect that as the government takes the significant step of telling all federal employees that they can no longer use TikTok on their work phones, many Canadians from business to private individuals will reflect on the security of their own data and perhaps make choices,
