TikTok’s plans for Australian data centres face delays amid national security concerns and foreign ownership scrutiny.

TikTok’s bold plan to build major data centres in Australia has hit a major roadblock, with the Foreign Investment Review Board delaying approvals over concerns tied to foreign ownership of critical infrastructure. The platform’s long-running effort highlights growing unease around how global tech giants operate and store Australian user data.

As scrutiny intensifies, questions are being raised about national security, data sovereignty, and whether foreign companies should be allowed to control essential digital infrastructure. Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ cautious response adds to the uncertainty as the government weighs the risks and benefits of TikTok’s entry into Australia’s data centre landscape.

These delays also put pressure on local data centre operators and set the stage for wider policy debates about foreign investment. What this means for Australian consumers — and the future of tech infrastructure — is becoming a critical conversation.
