The European Union has fined TikTok $600 million for violating data privacy laws by transferring user data to China. The Irish Data Protection Commission announced the decision on May 1, giving TikTok six months to comply with GDPR regulations.
The fine includes $551M for the illegal data transfer and the rest for failing to explain its data practices. It's the largest fine ever under EU data laws.
TikTok denied wrongdoing, stating it never gave European user data to Chinese authorities and plans to appeal the ruling.
The decision comes as TikTok also faces a potential ban in the U.S. unless parent company ByteDance divests from it by June 18, 2025, per an executive order.
