TikTok announced a major update to its rules about sharing content. This change affects how people and companies move videos onto TikTok using automated tools. The new policy starts soon. It specifically targets the use of outside applications and automatic uploaders that post content without direct human involvement.

TikTok believes this update is necessary. It directly tackles the problem of bulk, impersonal content flooding the platform. This kind of content often feels spammy. It also fails to meet TikTok’s standards for authentic, creative videos. The core goal is protecting the unique, original work made by TikTok creators. These creators build the platform’s community.
Under the new rules, methods relying heavily on automation to upload many videos quickly will be restricted. This includes certain uses of TikTok’s own API by third-party services designed for mass posting. The company wants every video shared on TikTok to reflect genuine human creation and effort. Authenticity is paramount.
This shift means creators should see real benefits. Their original content faces less competition from impersonal, automatically generated posts. TikTok hopes this fosters a more vibrant space. The platform should feel more personal and engaging for everyone. User experience improves when content feels real.

TikTok’s enforcement will be strict. The platform will actively monitor for violations of this new policy. Accounts found using automated tools for mass sharing risk penalties. These penalties could include removed content or even account suspension. Protecting creator rights and platform integrity drives this action. The rules apply globally.
