Creator Platform Policy Watch

Track platform changes for creators on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X, Snapchat, Twitch, Kick, Substack, Patreon, Spotify, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Discord. Report only materially new, source-backed developments from the last 30 hours: monetization eligibility, revenue share and payout changes; policy and community guideline changes with enforcement dates; algorithm, ranking and format changes announced by the platform or verified by credible analysis; new features and tools for creators, including AI labeling requirements; ad rate and brand-deal disclosure rule changes; account security incidents; outages; and legal or regulatory actions affecting these platforms. Prefer official creator blogs, policy pages, help centers, earnings calls, regulator notices and established creator-economy reporting; ignore engagement-bait algorithm secrets, unverified creator claims and recycled tips. For each, state what changed, the effective date, which creators it affects and the practical adjustment for a channel between 1,000 and 1,000,000 followers, and put the platform first in the title. Use high severity for monetization or payout changes, a policy with enforcement inside 30 days, or a format change affecting short video, long video, newsletters or live streams. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for the change, who it affects, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
