Each social platform—Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook—has its own terms of service that influencers must follow. Violating these terms can lead to post removal, account restrictions, or even permanent bans. Common violations include fake engagement, copyright infringement, hate speech, spammy behavior, or failing to disclose paid content. Stay updated on platform rule changes—especially regarding monetization, ad disclosures, and content standards. Read guidelines around giveaways, branded content, and music use. Platforms may also limit promotional tactics like tagging too many users or overusing hashtags. Use native features (like “Paid Partnership” tags) to stay compliant. Don’t buy followers or automate engagement—it violates most platforms’ terms and damages your credibility. Respecting terms protects your account, maintains audience trust, and ensures eligibility for features like monetization or Creator Funds. Influencers who understand and follow platform rules build more secure, professional, and long-lasting digital careers.
Every social media platform has its own set of terms of service and community guidelines that govern what content is allowed, how it can be monetized, and what could lead to suspension or a ban. In this module, we help you understand and navigate these platform rules so your accounts remain in good standing and fully functional. We begin by covering the terms of major platforms—Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest—and highlighting key differences among them. You’ll learn what content is prohibited, such as hate speech, misinformation, nudity, and spam, and how each platform enforces violations. The module explains monetization rules, age restrictions, banned ad categories, and guidelines for running giveaways or contests. We cover the importance of regularly reviewing policy updates and how sudden algorithm or guideline shifts can impact your content’s reach or visibility. You’ll also understand what happens if your account is reported, restricted, shadowbanned, or flagged—and how to appeal or recover access. The module includes downloadable summaries of each platform’s most important terms, including ad policies, user content rights, and branded content disclosures. You’ll also get tips on setting up two-factor authentication, managing copyright strikes, and protecting your account from impersonation or phishing. For creators working across platforms, we show how to standardize your content and workflows to remain compliant everywhere. Understanding platform terms not only protects your account—it also improves your credibility with brands and helps avoid costly missteps. By the end, you’ll have full clarity on what’s allowed, what’s risky, and how to stay compliant while creating freely.
