TikTok to Invest €1 Billion in Finnish Data Centre Amid Privacy Concerns
应对隐私疑虑，TikTok将在芬兰投资10亿欧元建数据中心
TikTok has confirmed plans to invest €1 billion (US$1.14 billion) in building its first European data centre in Finland, part of its ongoing efforts to address privacy and data security concerns from EU lawmakers.
TikTok已确认将投资10亿欧元（约合11.4亿美元）在芬兰建设其首个欧洲数据中心，以应对欧盟立法者对隐私与数据安全的担忧。
This move follows growing scrutiny over ByteDance‘s ownership of TikTok and concerns that European user data could be accessed by the Chinese government. In response, TikTok launched “Project Clover” in 2023, a data security framework backed by a planned €12 billion investment over ten years, aiming to reassure regulators and build trust in its operations.
由于外界担心TikTok母公司字节跳动可能会将欧洲用户数据提供给中国政府，TikTok近年来面临日益严峻的审查压力。为此，公司在2023年启动了名为“三叶草计划（Project Clover）”的数据安全战略，计划未来十年投资120亿欧元，以缓解监管层面的紧张局势并重建信任。
Finland, with its cool climate and low energy costs, has emerged as a strategic location for tech companies establishing data centres, making it an attractive destination for TikTok’s expansion.
芬兰因其寒冷气候与较低能源成本，成为科技企业设立数据中心的热门地区，也因此吸引了TikTok的布局。
