TikTok has announced plans to open a second European data centre in Dublin.
The new centre, along with a third one in Norway, will be part of the social media giant's new Project Clover. The plan is aimed at addressing concerns about data security. The Chinese-owned video-sharing app has faced increasing scrutiny over how much access China has to user data, with EU institutions recently banning the app from official devices used by staff.
European TikTok boss Theo Bertram stressed the company is committed to store European TikTok user data locally. He said: "Last year, we announced details of our European data centre in Dublin, Ireland. Today, we are confirming the details of two more data centre sites - a second data centre in Dublin and a third in the Hamar region of Norway."
