Popular short video app TikTok has once again been accused of serious privacy violations in Europe. The European Union's Data Protection Commission (DPC) has opened a fresh probe against TikTok that will determine how and under what terms the app has shifted European user data to China.
This investigation is an extension of the investigation already underway, in which TikTok was fined 530 million euros (about $620 million). At that time, it was found that the app put users' data at risk through remote access in China.
TikTok had previously claimed that it does not store European user data in China, but only employees there access the data remotely. But later, the company admitted that some data was indeed stored on Chinese servers.
