Privacy group files complaint against AliExpress, TikTok, WeChat

Austrian advocacy group noyb on Thursday filed data privacy complaints against China’s AliExpress, TikTok and WeChat, saying they failed to comply with European Union laws on providing users a full copy of their data.

While most tech companies have a tool that allows them to fulfil requests for downloading user information, some Chinese companies have made it difficult to access the information, noyb said.
