TikTok follows Twitch with deepfake ban in new guidelines update Unsplash: Solen FeyissaTikTok is following in the footsteps of Twitch with a new update to its community guidelines that ban deepfakes and other uses of AI-generated \u201csynthetic media.\u201d Over the last few months, AI-generated content has taken over the internet in various ways, whether it be Dall-E, ChatGPT, or other various apps. Content creators have used AI to create synthetic media, also known as deepfakes across their platforms, making fake videos of various influencers and other random people on the internet. Twitch began banning deepfakes on the site two weeks ago, and now TikTok has followed their lead for the short-form video site. TikTok issues ban on deepfake content in new update In a blog post on TikTok\u2019s website, Global Head of Product Policy Julie de Bailliencourt revealed the new updates to their community guidelines, which will take effect on April 21, 2023. A major part of the guidelines includes updates to how they handle deepfake content on the platform, including making sure it\u2019s labeled in a way that makes it clear the content is produced by an AI. \u201cSynthetic media or manipulated that shows realistic scenes must be clearly disclosed. This can be done through the use of a sticker or caption, such as \u2018synthetic\u2019, \u2018fake\u2019, \u2018not real\u2019, or \u2018altered\u2019,\u201d it reads. The new rule update also allows TikTok to limit what type of AI content is uploaded to the platform, as they\u2019ve issued bans on synthetic media that \u201ccontains the likeness of any real private figure.\u201d On top of that, AI content that uses the likeness of public figures as an endorsement for a product will be banned from the site as well. Back in February, a deepfake video of Joe Rogan endorsing a product that he had never mentioned before went viral on the platform, giving viewers a good example of potentially misleading content on the internet. We\u2019ll have to wait to see if other platforms begin to introduce deepfake rules into their guidelines.
