Abstract
Digital sovereignty has attracted growing attention as governments around the world attempted to exert national influence over international platforms. Agenda of nation-states becomes apparent when the Chinese-based platform TikTok achieved global success. Under geopolitical, social and cultural dynamics, this paper examines the data sovereignty of TikTok, its sister app Douyin and its international competitor Facebook, aiming at differentiating data related policies between TikTok, Douyin and other global platforms. This study employs comparative views to comprehend data privacy, data portability and data storage. The preliminary finding suggests a stakeholder approach to balancing governance and sovereignty.
