Chinese social media company TikTok is at the advanced stage of planning a second data centre in Ireland with a third party service provider. The short video-sharing app, owned by China’s ByteDance, is aiming to expand its European data storage, TikTok’s general manager for operations in Europe, Rich Waterworth, said in a blog post.

“We are at an advanced stage of finalising a plan for a second data centre in Ireland with a third party service provider, in addition to the site announced last year,” Mr Waterworth said. “We’re also in talks to establish a third data centre in Europe to further complement our planned operations in Ireland. European TikTok user data will begin migrating this year, continuing into 2024,” he said.
