Sydney: TikTok said Friday it was “disappointed” by Australian legislation banning under-16s from social media, warning that young people may end up going to unsafe areas of the web.
The government had ignored expert advice, a company spokesperson said, adding: “It's entirely likely the ban could see young people pushed to darker corners of the internet where no community guidelines, safety tools, or protections exist.”
