Political ads have been banned from the platform since October 2019, yet some advertisers managed to circumvent this ban by using paid influencers during the 2020 elections.
The app now wants to counter this and will remove all content from users who are paid by political players. TikTok announced this in an official message on Wednesday.
In addition, algorithms and TikTok staff will ensure that the content posted by unpaid users does not contain misinformation, hate messages or incite violent extremism.
