TikTok gets a hefty fine in the EU for transferring user data to China

TikTok has just been handed a hefty €530 million ($600 million) fine in Ireland by the country's Data Protection Commission (DPC). The reason has to do with transfers of personal data of TikTok users in the European Economic Area (EEA) to China.

So much so, in fact, that it's outsold both of its siblings combined. In the first two months of availability, Samsung allegedly sold 9.16 million Galaxy S25 units across all three models.
