Social media giant TikTok wins 'stay' on order banning data transfers to China
Briefly

Mr Justice Mark Sanfey granted TikTok an interim stay until October regarding a €530 million fine imposed by the Data Protection Commission (DPC). TikTok asserts that the suspension’s implications could lead to billions in losses, with current losses estimated at €109 million. The judge's decision allows time for TikTok to prepare its full challenge, while the DPC's order regarding data transfer compliance from the EEA to China poses significant operational challenges. TikTok must demonstrate compliance steps by July, with final compliance needed by late November.
TikTok faces potential billions in losses if the DPC's suspension decision remains, with current losses estimated at €109 million post-suspension.
Mr Justice Mark Sanfey ruled that a stay on the DPC's decision will be in place until early October, to allow TikTok's full legal challenge.
The DPC's decision affects data transfers from the EEA to China, requiring TikTok to cease remote access by Chinese engineers and comply by late November.
TikTok's legal counsel emphasized the urgency of granting an interim stay due to the significant financial impacts of the DPC's decision on their operations.
