TikTok is looking to reassure users.

TikTok ag féachaint le húsáideoirí a chur ar a suaimhneas.

RTÉ News and Current Affairs The social media company TikTok has confirmed that it will establish its second data center in Ireland in Dublin.

Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an gcomhlacht meáin shóisialta TikTok gur i mBaile Átha Cliath a bhunós siad a ndara hionad sonraí in Éirinn.

The other center is also in Dublin.

Is i mBaile Átha Cliath atá an t-ionad eile chomh maith.

The situation is controversial, however, since TikTok is a Chinese company, and the authorities in Europe and Western countries alike are concerned that the company is under the control of the Chinese Government and that it is a Trojan Horse.

Tá conspóid ag baint leis an scéal, áfach, ós comhlacht Síneach é TikTok, agus tá imní ar na húdaráis san Eoraip agus i dtíortha an Iarthair trí chéile go bhfuil an comhlacht faoi anáil Rialtas na Síne agus go bhfuil sé mar Chapall Adhmaid na Traí.

In fact, Data Protection Commissioner Helen Dixon has an investigation underway and nearing completion into data sent by TikTok to China.

Go deimhin, tá fiosrúchán ar bun agus beagnach críochnaithe ag an gCoimisinéir Cosanta Sonraí Helen Dixon faoi shonraí a sheol TikTok chun na Síne.

Yesterday, Helen Dixon discussed the matter with representatives from the National Cyber Security Centre.

Inné féin, phléigh Helen Dixon an scéal le hionadaithe ón Lárionad Náisiúnta Cibearshlándála.

In that regard, Justice Minister Simon Harris has said that the Government had sought fresh security advice in relation to TikTok.

Ina cheann sin, tá sé ráite ag an Aire Dlí agus Cirt Simon Harris go raibh comhairle úr slándála maidir le TikTok lorgtha ag an Rialtas.

The Government has a big voice on the issue since TikTok's European headquarters is in this country, and the company employs around 3,000 people in Ireland.

Tá guthaíocht mhór ag an Rialtas ar an gceist ós sa tír seo atá ceanncheathrú Eorpach TikTok, agus tá thart ar 3,000 duine fostaithe ag an gcomhlacht in Éirinn.

Two weeks ago, the European Union authorities banned the use of TikTok on official devices due to fears of data theft or other cyber fraud.

Coicís ó shin, chuir forais an Aontais Eorpaigh cosc ar fheidhm a bhaint as TikTok ar ghléasanna oifigiúla le teann faitís go gcibearghoidfí sonraí nó go ndéanfaí cibearfheall de chineál eile.

TikTok claimed that this decision by the European Union was unreasonable and based on a misunderstanding.

Mhaígh TikTok go raibh cinneadh seo an Aontais Eorpaigh místuama agus gur míthuiscint ba bhun leis.

In light of all these issues, and for the sake of a solution, TikTok announced today that they were going to introduce new security policies.

I bhfianaise na gceisteanna seo ar fad, agus de ghrá an réitigh, d'fhógair TikTok inniu go raibh siad le beartais nua slándála a thabhairt isteach.

The company indicated that the data of European users would be stored in the two centers in Dublin and another center near the capital of Norway, Oslo.

Thug an comhlacht le fios go gcoinneofaí i dtaisce sonraí úsáideoirí Eorpacha sa dá ionad i mBaile Átha Cliath agus in ionad eile in aice le príomhchathair na hIorua, Osló.

A security company unrelated to TikTok is said to be in charge of those three data centers.

Comhlacht slándála nach bhfuil aon bhaint acu le TikTok a bheas i bhfeighil na dtrí ionad sonraí sin, a dúradh.

TikTok is popularized for sharing short videos online and the app is especially popular with young people.

Baintear earraíocht as TikTok le físeáin ghearra a roinnt ar líne agus tá an-tóir ag an aos óg go háirithe ar an aip.

TikTok was founded in Beijing in 2016 and has hundreds of millions of users in Europe, not to mention the rest of the world.
