Ireland's High Court upheld the Data Protection Commission's finding that TikTok violated GDPR by transferring European users' data to China, confirming the €530 million fine. However, the court ordered the DPC to reconsider the corrective measure that would suspend future data transfers to China, giving TikTok operational breathing room while the regulator reviews its approach. TikTok's appeal on the fine amount also remains pending. The ruling comes amid scrutiny of Ireland's GDPR enforcement record and its new EU Council presidency, highlighting the tension between hosting major tech firms and regulating them.
