A link in the video, caption or profile that leads to content TikTok doesn't allow (porn, scams, regulated-goods shops, hate).
What TikTok says
“If a link breaks our rules, we’ll remove it. We may also temporarily stop you from posting links—or, for severe violations, ban your account.”
How to fix it
Point links only at pages that would themselves follow TikTok's rules.
Good to know
Ordinary links and 'link in bio' to allowed pages are NOT penalized; there is no official rule that mentioning other platforms hurts reach.
