Ep 176: TikTok Updates AI Policies

Send us a textJust as global debates rage about the power of AI and social media, TikTok is rewriting the rulebook: launching new Community Guidelines designed to curb misinformation, crack down on AI abuse, and make sure creators know exactly where the boundaries are drawn. The new standards, coming into effect September 13, 2025, mark one of TikTok’s strongest pushes yet for trust, transparency, and safety.Misinformation & Automation: TikTok now strictly prohibits the use of automation tools, scripts, or tricks to bypass its systems. This includes penalties such as content removal or account bans. Users whose accounts are restricted or banned are explicitly forbidden from creating new accounts to circumvent these measures.AI-Generated Content: The guidelines have been updated to broaden restrictions on misleading AI-generated content. TikTok now states, “Even with labels, some edited or AI-generated content can still be harmful. We don’t allow content that’s misleading about matters of public importance or harmful to individuals.” This expands on previous rules to cover more types of misuse, including misleading representations of events or public figures.Need More Support?
