Universal Music Group ends licensing with TikTok.

Universal Music Group has announced it will cease licensing content to TikTok after the current contract expires on 31 January. This follows failed negotiations over new licensing terms. In an open letter, UMG accused TikTok of "trying to build a music-based business without paying fair value for the music." If a new agreement is not reached, all of UMG's songs will be removed from the platform.
