James 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 National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has warned Government departments not to use the app on work devices. 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.
