TikTok is a popular social media platform known for its short-form videos that allow users to create, share, and discover content in a wide range of genres. Launched in 2016 by the Chinese company ByteDance, it has rapidly gained global popularity, particularly among younger audiences. The platform has been at the center of various controversies regarding user data privacy and security, leading to regulatory scrutiny in several countries. Recently, TikTok was fined 530 million euros by the Ireland Data Protection Commission for illegally transferring European users' personal data to China and failing to maintain adequate transparency with its users.
