TikTok数据隐私争议再起:澳大利亚启动调查背后的真相
北京,8月4日 - 中国领先的短视频平台TikTok再次面临海外监管压力。澳大利亚隐私监管机构信息专员办公室(OAIC)近日宣布,正在核查一份关于TikTok数据隐私问题的报告。
Beijing, August 4 - China's leading short-video platform TikTok is facing renewed overseas regulatory pressure. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) recently announced it is reviewing a report on TikTok's data privacy issues.
这份由澳大利亚网络安全公司Internet 2.0发布的报告声称,TikTok收集用户日历、联系人名单和照片等数据并传回中国。该公司CEO罗伯特·波特甚至公开警告:"TikTok不安全,民众应谨慎使用。"
The report, released by Australian cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0, alleges that TikTok collects user data including calendars, contact lists and photos and transmits it to China. The company's CEO Robert Potter even publicly warned: "TikTok is not safe and people should use it with caution."
TikTok官方迅速回应,指出该报告存在"根本性误解",并强调其服务器位于新加坡,网络流量不会离开该地区。平台表示已主动联系澳大利亚监管机构,准备提供更准确的信息。
TikTok quickly responded, pointing out "fundamental misunderstandings" in the report and emphasizing that its servers are located in Singapore with network traffic not leaving the region. The platform stated it has proactively contacted Australian regulators and is prepared to provide more accurate information.
政治动机明显 | Clear Political Motives
尽管缺乏确凿证据,这份报告已成为澳大利亚政客施压TikTok的借口。参议员詹姆斯·帕特森以此为由要求政府对TikTok展开调查。这让人想起2020年澳大利亚前总理莫里森在调查后承认"没有理由限制TikTok"的往事。
Despite lacking conclusive evidence, the report has become an excuse for Australian politicians to pressure TikTok. Senator James Paterson used it to call for a government investigation. This recalls 2020 when then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison admitted after an investigation that "there is no reason to restrict TikTok."
全球围剿态势 | Global Crackdown Trend
澳大利亚的行动只是近期欧美国家针对TikTok的系列动作之一。美国已有20多位政要以"国家安全"为由呼吁封禁TikTok,英国外交大臣特拉斯也威胁将"打击中国科技企业"。
Australia's move is just one in a series of recent actions against TikTok by Western countries. Over 20 U.S. politicians have called for banning TikTok citing "national security," while UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has threatened to "crack down on Chinese tech companies."
TikTok CEO周受资明确表示:"从未与中国分享美国用户数据。"事实上,TikTok已将美国用户数据迁移至甲骨文美国服务器,并开发新的数据安全系统。
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew clearly stated: "We have never shared U.S. user data with China." In fact, TikTok has migrated U.S. user data to Oracle's American servers and is developing new data security systems.
中国外交部发言人赵立坚指出,这种无端打压解决不了西方国家自身的问题,敦促停止炒作"中国威胁论"。
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian noted that such baseless suppression won't solve Western countries' own problems, urging them to stop hyping the "China threat" theory.
专家分析,这些行动更多反映了西方国家对中国科技崛起的焦虑,而非真正的数据隐私关切。随着TikTok全球用户突破10亿,其影响力已引发传统势力的警惕。
Experts analyze that these actions reflect Western anxiety about China's technological rise more than genuine data privacy concerns. With TikTok surpassing 1 billion global users, its influence has alarmed traditional powers.
