European Data Protection Board to Probe TikTok's Data Collection Practices

Chinese video app TikTok’s practices are to be examined by an EU task force, the bloc’s privacy watchdog said, which also warned EU police forces against using facial recognition software from U.S. company Clearview AI. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) said it would set up a task force to assess TikTok’s activities across the bloc after a request from an EU lawmaker concerned about its data collection methods and security and privacy risks.
