TikTok is planning to build a second data centre in Finland as part of a broader investment estimated at more than $1 billion.
The move is part of the company’s efforts to strengthen its data infrastructure in Europe and address ongoing concerns over data security and user privacy. The new facility is expected to expand TikTok’s ability to store European user data locally.
Finland has become an attractive location for data centres due to its stable energy supply, cooler climate and strong digital infrastructure. Officials say the investment could also bring economic benefits, including job creation and increased technological development in the region.
The expansion comes as TikTok continues to face scrutiny from Western governments over how it handles user data, particularly in relation to its Chinese ownership.
