We last checked this against TikTok's page on .
How to fix it
Do not post. Re-shoot with age-appropriate clothing, a neutral camera angle and no suggestive audio or captions.
Good to know
If anyone who may be under 18 appears, check for underwear/lingerie-only outfits, suggestive dancing or poses, camera focus on chest, groin or buttocks, kissing that suggests sex, and suggestive audio or captions. AI images of youthful-looking people in adult clothing or sexualized poses count. Does NOT count: swimwear in an everyday setting like a pool, infants in non-sexual contexts.
