TikTok to open second Irish data centre

The social media platform also announced that its physical European Transparency and Accountability Centre in Dublin would open next month

In recent months, TikTok has been aiming to assure regulators that its users' personal data cannot be accessed and its content cannot be manipulated by China's Communist Party or anyone else under Beijing's influence

TikTok has announced that they are finalising plans for second data centre in Ireland with a third-party service provider.

This is in addition to a site it announced last year, with the new location announced as part of plans to open two more data centres in Europe, TikTok's European general manager for operations, Rich Waterworth said this morning.
