You can unban your TikTok account by following the methods that I have mentioned below. Here, you will get 5 effective methods to unban permanently banned TikTok account.
Why Did My TikTok Account Get Banned?
The main reason why TikTok started banning accounts is that TikTok was violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and for this TikTok paid $5.3 million as a settlement fee to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Earlier TikTok didn’t have any privacy policy regarding the age limit to create an account on TikTok. Anyone can create an account on TikTok and publish their content. After the settlement with FTC, TikTok staring banning all the users who are below the age of 13. As it is a good way to defend children’s online privacy, and all the users below 13 get their account banned, but there are also some users who are above 13 whose account got banned.
This happened because the users had not given the actual date of birth or couldn’t provide a Government Verified ID as proof of their age. Many users are legally eligible to use TikTok but they didn’t find the source to verify their age and due to this their TikTok account get banned.
Another reason behind banning the account is that the users are uploading unpleasant or vulgar content on TikTok. TikTok has provided guidelines on what type of contents users can publish. And if the user doesn’t follow the guideline that it is a high possibility that TikTok will permanently ban their account.
Some of the other reasons behind banning TikTok account are:
- When you are bullying other users.
- If you are promoting crime, terrorism, and other violent behavior.
- When you are buying followers and likes.
- If you are using hateful speech in your content.
- TikTok suspecting you to be bot.
- Using illegal substances in your contents.
- Promoting discrimination, exclusion, or segregation against certain groups.
- Using drugs, alcohol, or tobacco while making videos.
If this is the case with you then chances to unban your TikTok account have a lower possibility.
These are some of the reasons due to which your TikTok account can be banned.
