đź“ť TikTok Policy Changes Coming July 25

TikTok is rolling out updates to its Terms of Service, Branded Content Policy, and more on July 25, 2025. The new rules will tighten guidelines on music usage (especially for sponsored posts) and require clearer labeling of branded content.

Coins, gifts, and rewards systems are also being adjusted for transparency and new payout rules. Essentially, continuing to use TikTok after that date implies acceptance of the new terms – creators should review these policy changes to ensure compliance and avoid surprises.

🎤 TikTok launched “TikTok Songwriter” Features

TikTok also launched new “Songwriter Features” (beta) to give songwriters recognition and new ways to engage fans. Songwriters can now get a special profile label and a dedicated Music tab showcasing songs they’ve written.

Takeaway: If you’re a songwriter on TikTok, apply for the Songwriter account to boost your visibility and credit – it’s part of TikTok’s push to celebrate the creators behind the music.

🛟 Meta Adds Creator Safety & Tests Verified Perks

Meta rolled out a Copyright Check tool for Facebook Reels that lets creators scan for music/IP issues before posting. This proactive step helps you avoid takedowns, demonetization, or muted audio by flagging potential violations in advance.

Useful for Reels creators worried about accidental copyright hits. Meanwhile, Meta is pushing its paid verification program: the company has even started gifting free “Meta Verified” subscriptions to select creators to spur interest.
