Deep dives
Universal Music pulls their music from TikTok
Universal Music, the largest record label in the world, has removed its music from TikTok. The record label claims that TikTok wants to pay them below-market rates for licensing their catalog. While big-name artists like Taylor Swift and Drake are likely unaffected by this move, it could potentially impact up-and-coming artists who rely on TikTok for discovery and promotion. TikTok's music-driven platform is significantly impacted by this removal, with many users complaining that their content archives are now muted without access to music.
