TikTok reaches 2 million monthly users in IrelandJames CoxSocial media platform TikTok has hit the milestone of two million monthly users in Ireland. The company praised Irish creators in different fields for helping it to reach the figure. The company has been accused of sharing users' personal data with Chinese government agencies. On Monday, TikTok was granted permission by the High Court to challenge the Data Protection Commission (DPC) decision to fine it €345 million for failing to protect children’s privacy on its social media site. The platform was fined after the DPC initiated an investigation in September 2021 into certain processing of personal data of persons under the age of 18 years carried out by TikTok.
