An announcement this morning has seen all TikTok election fundraising banned by the platform. Politicians and parties will not be able to use the short-form video app to solicit funds for the midterms, and they will also have all forms of monetization switched off …
Additionally, verification for political accounts is now mandatory between now and the midterms.
The company announced both policies in a blog post. The fundraising ban is an extension of an existing prohibition on political ads.
