TikTok secured a legal victory in Canada on Wednesday after the country’s federal court overturned a government order for the company to shut down its Canadian operations. The ruling directs the Canadian government to reconsider the case and allows the short-video platform to continue serving the 14 million plus users in the country.
In a short judgment, Canadian federal court judge Russel Zinn set aside the order and sent the matter back to Industry Minister Melanie Joly for review without giving any reasons.
A TikTok spokesperson said the company welcomed the decision to set aside the shutdown order, noting that the platform looks forward to working with the minister toward a resolution that is in the best interests of users.
“Keeping TikTok’s Canadian team in place will enable a path forward that continues to support millions of dollars of investment in Canada and hundreds of local jobs,” the spokesperson said.
Wednesday’s ruling follows a decision by Canada’s industry ministry in November 2024, which ordered the platform to wind down its business in the country on national security grounds. TikTok subsequently filed an appeal.
