Universal Music Group Threatens To Pull Music From TikTok

Universal Music Group is threatening to pull all of its music from TikTok. In an open letter to the "artist and songwriter community", Universal Music Group said it was pressing TikTok on "appropriate compensation for our artists and songwriters, protecting human artists from the harmful effects of AI, and online safety for TikTok’s users." TikTok apparently wants to pay a "fraction" of the compensation rate that Universal Music Group receives from other social media sites.
