Chinese platforms are in trouble in the EU
According to GDPR, Data transfer outside the EU, It can only be carried out in cases where data protection standards are sufficient in the target country. However, NOYB called China “an authoritarian surveillance state” and argues that data transfers to this country should be stopped.
NOYB said in a statement: “According to their privacy policies, AliExpress, SHEIN, TikTok and Xiaomi transfer data to China. Temu and WeChat talk about transfers to third countries. “Based on the corporate structure of Temu and WeChat, this likely includes China.” he said.
Within the scope of the complaint, NOYB demanded that the data transfers in question be stopped and that the companies were notified of global Fines of up to 4 percent of income requests to be given. This rate represents the maximum penalty limit stipulated in the GDPR and represents a serious financial sanction for companies. Noyb has filed six complaints in Greece, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Austria to stop data transfers to China.
NOYB has previously made similar complaints against American technology giants such as Apple and Meta. Schrems’ cases against Facebook are considered turning points in the implementation of the GDPR. These complaints led to various investigations and billions of dollars in fines. Now the organization has turned its attention to China-based technology giants.
