TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, was in May fined 530 million euros ($620 million) by the Irish commissioner over concerns on how it protects European users’ information, some of which is remotely accessed by staff in China.
The new inquiry, by TikTok’s lead regulator in the EU as its European headquarters is located in Ireland, will look specifically at the storage of data in China, which was not considered in the previous probe.
