TikTok, owned by China's ByteDance, was in May fined €530m by the Irish commissioner over the transfer of European user data to China. The decision to commence the inquiry was taken by the commissioners for data protection, Des Hogan and Dale Sunderland, and was notified to TikTok earlier this week.
