TikTok has to pay €530 million in penalties because it sent the personal data of Europeans to China illegally and wasn’t transparent enough with users, Ireland’s powerful privacy regulator said Friday.
The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) said TikTok breached the EU’s flagship data protection rules when it sent European user data to China because it couldn’t guarantee that the data was protected under China’s surveillance laws.
Taking a stance on data transfers to China for the first time, the regulator said TikTok failed to adequately assess the implications of Chinese surveillance laws on Europeans’ data.

I love how we tariff China to hurt its manufacturing but then don’t ban its high tech company that is actually directly competing with our biggest companies and is making China insane amounts of money
