This is the best summary I could come up with:
In some of his most hawkish comments to date, the head of Canada's intelligence agency is warning Canadians — including teenagers — against using the wildly popular video app TikTok.
His comments come a week after CSIS released an annual report which warned about Chinese President Xi Jinping's growing extraterritorial reach.
Vigneault is just the latest Western official to raise concerns about TikTok putting sensitive user data in the hands of the Chinese government.
TikTok's parent company ByteDance is also accused of helping to build China's system for cracking down on the Uyghur minority, and of targeting protesters in Hong Kong.
Last month, U.S. President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that gives TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, one year to sell the app to avoid a ban.
A spokesperson for Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in March that the government could take action "if a case under review is found to be injurious to Canada's national security."
