Change Summary
TikTok updated its Community Guidelines with a new effective date of September 24, 2026, and made three substantive changes to its regulated goods policy. The platform changed 'trade, marketing, or promotion' to 'trade, marketing, or providing access to' regulated goods, and narrowed the exception for selling regulated items from 'registered business accounts' to 'verified business accounts.' These changes expand what conduct is prohibited and narrow which sellers may qualify for exceptions.
