Worth knowing
- Reporting has moved off the main tiktok.com domain onto tiktokforbusiness.com; that's expected, not a sign of a fake or phishing page.
- For TikTok Shop product listings, use the separate TikTok Shop IP Reporting Webform instead: select the report type (Shop, Shop Name, or Shop Photo), the IPR type (Copyright or Trademark), provide registration details and infringing account links, upload proof, and submit.
If TikTok doesn't act
A platform can ignore a report. Its payment processor and the people it depends on to stay online are much harder to ignore.
