TikTok talks with Irish regulator over multiple EU consumer complaints, including targeting ads at children            

Number of incidents have prompted concerns about privacy and safety policies

Owned by China's ByteDance, TikTok has seen rapid growth worldwide, particularly among teenagers. 

Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok has been given a month to respond to multiple complaints from EU consumer groups that it allegedly violated the consumer laws and also allegedly fail to protect children from hidden advertising and inappropriate content.

TikTok said it would discuss with the Ireland's Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and the Swedish Consumer Agency measures it recently introduced. Both bodies are leading the talks.
