Industry minister talks TikTok, Elon Musk and the future of his AI bill
OTTAWA — As the federal government battles TikTok in court over Ottawa’s order to close its Canadian offices, Canada’s industry minister says families should make their own decisions about whether to continue using the app.
“Ultimately, that’s a choice for people to make with eyes wide open,” François-Philippe Champagne said.
As for what he tells his own family? Champagne won’t share.
“I don’t want to give advice on my personal experience in the sense that that is a more broad-based issue…it’s like if you were asking about my eating habits, well, they may be well-suited for me and my family,” he said.
