The principal of a secondary school in Co Kerry is urging TikTok to make resources more accessible for teachers who want to report and remove harmful videos about their students.

Dermot Healy of Pobalscoil Inbhear Scéine in Kenmare recently publicly criticised the social media platform for its inaction in responding to his requests to remove abusive and harmful footage of his students.
