TikTok's New Guidelines Spark Creator Outrage

TikTok's New Guidelines Spark Creator Backlash: Concerns Over IP Rights and Censorship June 6, 2025 - A growing number of TikTok creators are voicing concerns over the platform's recently updated guidelines. One creator, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared a video detailing their frustrations with the new terms. "They're claiming it as theirs," the creator stated, referring to the intellectual property rights of videos posted on the platform. The creator also highlighted instances of censorship, citing the muting of videos due to "unauthorized sound." The video has already generated significant attention, with many creators expressing similar concerns. The creator also pointed to the apparent discrepancy between the success of their videos and their compensation. One video, with 32 million views, only generated $23 in revenue. This raises questions about fair compensation for creators on the platform. TikTok has yet to respond to these concerns, but the growing backlash highlights the need for more transparency and fair treatment of content creators.
