"I'm not at liberty to go into much detail, but I know Canadians would understand when you're saying the government of Canada is taking measures to protect national security, that's serious."

Read: We made shit up and everyone knows it.

So what it sounds like is they are shutting down their offices in Canada. So basically ruining people's ability to get support or raise any issues. Are they just trying to make the experience so shitty that people naturally leave it?

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has warned Canadians, including teenagers, against using TikTok.

Teenagers, that demographic famous for listening to authority figures, will absolutely follow the CSIS guidelines.

Would be cool if they gave a tangible reason to back their eerie warning. But such is the nature of national security theatre, the mother of all security theatres, that you can say whatever you want with no accountability.
