On Tuesday, UMG accused the video platform of attempting to bully it into accepting a 'bad deal' that didn't soothe the record labels' concerns regarding adequate compensation for artists and songwriters, protections against AI-generated music, and online safety on the platform to protect artists from 'hate speech, bigotry, bullying and harassment.'
Now, UMG-owned music that features in TikTok videos will be muted, and users looking to replace the removed tracks will need to select alternative options from other music labels.
