Community Guidelines

The only change is a new notice at the top announcing that TikTok's Community Guidelines will be updated on September 24, 2026, with a link to the new version. No actual rules changed in this document.

+ ADDEDHeads-up that new Community Guidelines are coming on September 24, 2026

TikTok added a banner near the top saying it will replace these Community Guidelines on September 24, 2026, and links to where you can read the new version. Nothing in the current rules — what's allowed, what's removed, how enforcement works — was changed in this update. The release date (August 14, 2025) and effective date (September 13, 2025) of the current guidelines stayed the same.
