TikTok considers installing a data center in Brazil due to pressure

Amid rising trade tensions and concerns over global data security, TikTok owner ByteDance is eyeing a major infrastructure project in Latin America, Reuters sources said. The project could include the possible construction of a data center in Brazil .

This movement is interpreted as a proactive maneuver to:

• Diversify risks: Reduce dependence on infrastructure in China or the US.
• Comply with regulations: Address potential data localization requirements.
• Expand market: Strengthen TikTok's presence in the key Brazilian and Latin American markets.

The decision would reflect a hedging strategy in the face of the complex geopolitical and regulatory landscape facing the popular short-video app.
