To be clear, they're not banning the app, they're banning ByteDance from having offices in Canada

What is the strategy here? Why does banning ByteDance from having offices in Canada do anything?

Could it be the start of a series of legislation to make it impossible to operate the app which would be more palatable to the public than a ban?

1: Ban presence in the country

2: Add data provision requirements that personal information be stored in the country.

3: TikTok can’t meet requirements? Well that’s on them, guess they can’t operate here.

What if ByteDance operating outside of Canada stores the data in ca-central-1?
