Does TikTok's own help-centre page say it reads Content Credentials on uploads and labels AI content automatically, and what do Meta's own pages say about its "AI info" label?

In the 2026-06-27 snapshot TikTok may auto-apply an 'AI-generated' label when TikTok AI effects are used or uploaded content carries C2PA Content Credentials, and creators cannot remove an auto label; the live page was not readable. A later curator read of TikTok's Community Guidelines (Integrity and Authenticity, effective 24 September 2026, read 23 October 2026) says TikTok requires creators to label AI-generated or significantly edited content that shows realistic-looking scenes or people, and that unlabeled content may be removed, restricted or labeled by TikTok. Curator qualifications: Documents read 2026-10-22; nothing delivered, measured or uploaded. Snapshot only; current text may differ. Meta newsroom items (S45, S46) and re-encode behaviour negative from producer reading. Amendment CA-AM-0110 (additive currency update, 2026-10-23): current TikTok Community Guidelines added from curator-verified evidence (C3R-0581); earlier snapshot statement unchanged. Limitations: Documents read 2026-10-22; nothing delivered, measured or uploaded. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
