The Herald Sun is one of Murdoch's mouthpieces. There may be a source, but with the Sun I believe the use of the passive voice allows the editor to hide that the source of the article is the article itself, and perhaps, the article should be written as: 'This article is calling for the ban of Tik Tok which is a competitor for your attention.

Our editorial policy is to provoke strong emotional reactions that drive sales and our political agenda, not critical thinking. '
