Video sharing platform TikTok has announced that there are now 2 million people in Ireland using the app each month.
"Our vibrant community of 2 million people across Ireland is made up of book lovers, foodies, families, musicians, comedians, artists and so much more, who come to TikTok to discover, share their stories, inspire creativity and spread joy," said Cormac Keenan, Head of Trust and Safety at TikTok.In April, the National Cyber Security Centre issued guidance advising Irish Government departments and state agencies against the use of the app on official devices.
The US and UK governments, as well as EU institutions, have also banned the platform on staff devices over cybersecurity fears.Ireland is playing a central role in the company's efforts to address concerns over data security. A plan called"Project Clover" involves European user information being stored at two data centres in Dublin and at a third centre in Norway.
