"[Ottawa's] suggesting that they're going to keep using the platform, but you should be wary of using the platform," said Brett Caraway, an associate professor of media economics at the University of Toronto. "The messaging here is just going in opposite directions."
David Shipely, CEO of Fredericton-based Beauceron Security, criticized the government's position by saying, "I think it's ridiculous; pick a lane. If the government has concerns about TikTok, it should avoid doing business with the platform."
