Marketing can be challenging as TikTok Policies have strict community guidelines. To help navigate these restrictions, our expert, Jon, has created a comprehensive guide on the terms and policies to follow for successful marketing on the platform.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR TIKTOK ACCOUNT GETTING BANNED
Getting your TikTok account banned due to violating TikTok Policies can have significant consequences. The first and most obvious is that you will no longer have access to the account and all of the content that was stored on it. This means that any videos or photos that you had uploaded to the account will be lost and you will not be able to view them again. Additionally, you will no longer be able to use the account to interact with other users or to create new content. This can be particularly detrimental if you have built a sizable following on the platform, as it will be difficult to reconnect with your followers. Furthermore, your account will be added to a list of banned TikTok accounts which can make it difficult to get another account in the future. Even if you try to create a new account using a different email address or phone number, TikTok’s system will flag it as a banned account.
