Government of Canada Bans WeChat and Kaspersky Apps. The minister of Canada, Anita Anand, has banned the WeChat and Kaspersky suite of applications on government mobile devices. WeChat offers communication features like text messaging and video conferencing, while Kaspersky provides cybersecurity solutions. The ban is due to data collection methods employed by these apps. They will be removed from government-issued mobile devices, and users will be unable to download them in the future. The government aims to ensure the security of Canadian government networks and data and collaborate with international partners to enhance security protocols. They will monitor potential threats and take immediate action when necessary. #Canada #WeChat #Kaspersky #cybersecurity
