<h1>EU privacy regulator opens investigation into social media platform's data transfers to China following previous 530 million Euro fine</h1> A European Union privacy regulator has opened a new investigation into a social media platform's data transfers to China. The inquiry follows a previous investigation that resulted in a 530 million Euro fine after finding the company put users at risk by allowing remote access to their data from China. The company initially denied storing European user data in China but later admitted some data was stored on Chinese servers. The investigation will examine compliance with GDPR requirements for international data transfers, particularly regarding lawfulness and adequate safeguards for user data protection.
