If you can't beat 'em? European politicians embrace TikTok despite security fears

Some European politicians, including Ireland's prime minister-in-waiting Simon Harris, are embracing TikTok as a means to reach younger voters ahead of upcoming elections. However, concerns over data security and potential influence from the Chinese government have been raised. Despite this, TikTok argues that security warnings are unwarranted and that it takes measures to protect users' data. Other European leaders, such as French President Emmanuel Macron and German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, have also joined TikTok to engage with younger audiences. Mainstream politicians are keen to tap into TikTok's popularity, especially with the potential influence of fringe parties on the platform.
