Change Summary
TikTok restructured its Community Guidelines page on April 19, 2026, removing 49 sentences of detailed policy content and replacing them with navigation links to separate policy sections. The original Guidelines contained specific sections covering youth safety, hate speech, misinformation, harassment, and other prohibited behaviors with explanatory text. The updated page now functions primarily as a landing portal that directs users to 'Commitments', 'Engagement', and other policy areas without restating substantive content on the page itself.
