TikTok, facing scrutiny, launches "critical" new data security measures in Europe
CBSN
TikTok announced on Wednesday that it will be implementing a new security measure in Europe called "Project Clover," which is intended to strengthen existing protections for user data — and perhaps address concerns in the face of political pressure.
The company says the new policies will be implemented throughout the remainder of the year, and into 2024.
"Over 150 million people across Europe come to our platform every month to express themselves, learn new hobbies or skills and grow their business," read a press release by TikTok's vice president of government relations in Europe, Theo Bertram. "With such scale comes significant responsibility — building trust by ensuring the safety, privacy and security of our community and their data is critical."
