"As we have set out before, we want to continue to develop policies that foster and promote a positive environment that brings people together, not divide them," Chandlee said in the post."We do that currently by working to keep harmful misinformation off the platform, prohibiting political advertising, and connecting our community with authoritative information about elections.
"If our community is watching content from an account belonging to a government, politician, or political party, we want them to know the account is genuine," according to Chandlee."We don’t proactively encourage politicians or political parties to join TikTok, but we welcome those that have chosen to and want to ensure our community knows the source is authentic when watching that content.
TikTok said will prohibit"these accounts from accessing other monetization features," meaning that"they will not have access to features like gifting, tipping, and e-commerce, and will be ineligible for our Creator Fund."
