Germany’s far-right AfD to challenge ‘extremist’ designation – Europe live

Elsewhere, TikTok has been fined 530m for violations of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation after the Irish Data Protection Commission's inquiry into its data transfers to China.

DPC deputy commissioner Graham Doyle said in a press statement:

The GDPR requires that the high level of protection provided within the European Union continues where personal data is transferred to other countries.

TikTok's personal data transfers to China infringed the GDPR because TikTok failed to verify, guarantee and demonstrate that the personal data of EEA users, remotely accessed by staff in China, was afforded a level of protection essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the EU.
