TikTok pulls away from ACCC’s ‘social media’ definition; stressing ‘challenger’ position

TikTok has picked itself apart from platforms such as Facebook in its submission to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) in response to the digital platform service inquiry, emphasising its “challenger” position, and calling for a better definition of “social media service providers”.

The ACCC has released the latest submissions to its issue paper last week. Apart from TikTok, the latest releases also include those from Twitter, Meta, Nine and Free TV.
