The updated Community Guidelines footer no longer includes a direct link to TikTok's Children's Privacy Policy. Previously, users navigating the Community Guidelines could access child-specific privacy disclosures through the footer link. The Children's Privacy Policy itself may remain available on TikTok's platform, but this change reduces the visibility and discoverability of that document from the Community Guidelines page. Users seeking child privacy information from the Community Guidelines will need to navigate elsewhere or search for it independently.
