ByteDance’s TikTok announced a major investment plan during an event in Bangkok on Friday, revealing that the popular social media platform will invest $8.8 billion in data centres across Thailand over the next five years.
Helena Lersch, TikTok’s Vice President of Public Policy, detailed the ambitious initiative aimed at enhancing the platform’s regional infrastructure and supporting Thailand’s digital economy.
