Canada bans Chinese app WeChat from government devices
Canada has announced it will ban WeChat on government devices. The Chinese-owned app is sometimes referred to as the "Everything app" - like WhatsApp, Facebook, Amazon and Tinder all in one. Still, there is no evidence that government information has been compromised through WeChat, the president of Canada's Treasury Board, Anita Anand, said in a statement. "We are taking a risk-based approach to cyber security by removing access to these applications on government mobile devices," she said. Even though TikTok has received much attention for potential security risks, many security experts believe WeChat poses a greater threat.
