AN Irish cyber watchdog has warned parents to be vigilant after the death of a girl in Italy was linked to a game on TikTok.

The investigation came as Italy announced it had temporarily blocked access to TikTok for users whose age could not be proven. Last night, Alex Cooney, CEO of CybersafeIre land, warned parents to need to keep a close eye on their kids’ use of apps.
