TikTok’s new guidelines add subtle changes for LIVE creators, AI content, and more

Tiktok prepares a community guidance update, which dictates the rules of participation on the social video platform in addition to the criteria that the company uses to determine the videos that make it feed on you. Although the update is largely rewritten by the original text for simplicity, there are some elements that jump in the new review-especially how Tiktok gives priority to its market, the extent of its allocation from the experience for each user, and a simple change in the type of content that was generated to the intelligence generated.

Today, social media companies have to comply with a set of regulations worldwide, such as the UK Safety law (OSA), the European Union Digital Services Law (DSA), and the United States Law, which partially led to policy reviews on some platforms, as is the case with yesterday’s update to Bluesky.

Tiktok changes, which remain directly on September 13, 2025, are not large, as the company appears to have often rewritten the text for clarification.

However, one section witnessed several additions in the updated instructions covering the rules of the creators tiktok live.

The company warns creators that they are responsible for anything that happens in their direct session, even if it includes third -party tools, such as actual time translation or sound tools to a text to read viewers’ comments. Tiktok is advised to monitor these tools to ensure that they do not violate the rules through these third -party services.

Another noticeable addition to this section provides new guidelines for commercial content.

Tiktok stresses that commercial content should be detected. It also states that it will reduce the vision of the content that directs users to “buy products outside the market in the market where the Tiktok store is available.”

The company also says it dedicates user search results.

While the previous version of the guidelines said that Tiktok provided the user’s search suggestions, the new guidelines say that “the search results and recommendations may seem different for everyone.” The instructions explain that Tiktok uses information such as previous searches and what you have seen to make search results more relevant.

The updated rules reveal that the comments are also customized.

Tiktok says comments are sorted based on signals such as previous responses, miracles and reports. Again, this means that the comments section will look different from the user to the user.

The section in the content of artificial intelligence has not changed significantly, although the language here has become less lengthy in parts when describing the type of Deepfake content that is not allowed. “This includes exposure to intimidation, support, or accredited,” said Tiktok previously.

This is now replaced in a language that says Tiktok does not allow the content “This is misleading about public importance issues or harmful to individuals.”

It is interesting to note that the language that indicates artificial intelligence approvals has been removed. (Tiktok may pave the way for celebrities -based approvals, created by artificial intelligence?)

In some cases, the language was simplified in the instructions, as in the Few FYF Standards Department, which no longer has a long list of an unqualified FYF content. Instead, details about unqualified content are published during many different sections of the updated community guidelines, making the indication that it is no longer in one place.

It should also be noted that Tiktok has changed the language that explains the reason behind its involvement in moderate content.

Before, the company said that the process kept the platform “safe, confident and vibrant.” Now moderate content describes as Tiktok to be “a safe, enjoyable and creative place for all.”

It seems “trustworthy” got the ax. Yes.
