By attempting to change your name on TikTok and receiving a policy violation notification, your proposed new name is likely to violate the platform's Community Guidelines. To understand this situation, it is recommended:
• Review TikTok's Community Guidelines: These policies detail prohibited behaviors and content on the platform. Specifically, usernames must not contain:
• Inappropriate or vulgar language: Avoid offensive words or words with explicit sexual content.
• Hate speech or incitement to violence: Do not include terms that promote discrimination or aggression towards individuals or groups.
• Sensitive personal information: Refrain from using data such as telephone numbers, addresses or any data that compromises privacy.
• Identity theft: Do not use names that may confuse others by posing as another person or entity.
• Consider regional restrictions: In certain countries, TikTok has implemented specific measures that may affect the functionality of the application, including name changes.
For example, in the United States, due to national security concerns, stricter policies have been put in place that could influence platform operations.
