TikTok's Dublin Data Centre: Addressing Concerns of China Spying
TikTok has opened its first European data centre in Dublin in an effort to address concerns over Chinese state surveillance. The move is part of TikTok's ongoing response to data privacy concerns and aims to reassure European users that their data is being stored locally. The company has also enlisted the help of a European security company, NCC Group, to independently audit its data controls and enhance security. TikTok plans to open additional data centres in Ireland and Norway to further protect the data of its European users.
