TikTok has launched security measures to allay concerns it could be made to share user data with China.
As part of its current effort to store European user data locally, TikTok revealed plans for two new data centres, costing a total of €1.2bn every year, in Dublin, in addition to one already announced, and the Hamar region of Norway.The company has been working on Project Clover since last year.
Executives unveiling Project Clover repeatedly said they were going further than other major social networks to protect user privacy. It spent a fortune setting up a transparency centre in Oxfordshire, where for years UK cyber chiefs poured over source code looking for signs of Chinese government interference.
"How unsure of itself can the world's top superpower like the US be to fear young people's favourite app like that?" China foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.The day before Project Clover was announced, US President Joe Biden lent his administration's support to a bill - promoted by Democrat Mark Warner, who chairs the senate intelligence committee, and Republican John Thune - granting powers to ban foreign-owned technology.
