TikTok launched a new effort to assuage European leaders’ worries over data security, as Western governments consider further bans on the video-sharing app. | AFP
TikTok executives said the company was working with a third-party European security company to oversee and check how it handles European users’ data, which will be stored at two centres in Dublin and one in Norway from 2023 onwards.TikTok insisted this project would also reduce its own employees’ access to user data.
TikTok already has a similar deal in the United States with Silicon Valley giant Oracle to keep US users’ data in the country. US lawmakers are pushing a bill that would make it easier to ban the app, coming hot on the heels of a US Congress-ordered purge from all government-issued devices. The Czech government, while part of the EU, has not introduced a ban so far. But in a report last year its intelligence agency, the BIS, singled China out as a major threat targeting Czech cyberspace.The EU has pointed to concerns over data protection, but TikTok has always strongly denied China has any control or access.
