Vietnam Says TikTok’s Content Censorship Isn’t Effective

(Bloomberg) — Vietnam’s Communications Ministry accused China’s TikTok Inc. of failing to effectively block content that violates the law after the authority conducted inspections of the platform’s operations, the VietnamNet news website reported.

TikTok also stored illegal information, including content that could incite violence and pose risks to children, according to the report, which cited Le Quang Tu Do, the director of Vietnamese ministry’s Authority of Broadcasting, Television and Electronic Information during an Oct. 5 meeting.
