EU leaders fire warning shots at TikTok over privacy
European Commission officials on Tuesday warned TikTok’s CEO to respect EU laws and work on “regaining [the] trust of European regulators,” as the Chinese-owned firm faces growing criticism over privacy.
“I count on TikTok to fully execute its commitments to go the extra mile in respecting EU law and regaining [the] trust of European regulator,” said European Commission Vice President Věra Jourová in a statement after meeting with TikTok chief Shou Zi Chew in Brussels.
Jourová said there could not be “any doubt that data of users in Europe are safe and not exposed to illegal access from third-country authorities.”
