The British Columbia government has announced a temporary ban on the use of TikTok on provincial government-issued mobile devices, coming just hours after the federal government announced a similar measure.

TikTok, a popular video-sharing app by the Chinese company ByteDance, has come under increased scrutiny by different governments due to security concerns.
