Jan ‌21 (Reuters) - Canada's federal ‌court has overturned ‌a government order to close TikTok's ‍Canadian operations, allowing ‍it to ‌continue to operate ‍at least ​for now, ⁠Politico reported on Wednesday.

In 2024, ‌Canada ordered TikTok's ⁠business ‍in the country to be ‍dissolved, citing national-security ‌risks, but added the government was not blocking Canadians' access to the short-video app ‌or their ability to create content.
