Universal Music Group and TikTok reach a new licensing agreement.

Universal Music Group (UMG) and TikTok have reached a new licensing agreement, restoring access to UMG's songs and artists on the platform. The deal comes after TikTok removed UMG's content in January due to an expired previous agreement and disagreements on royalty payments, AI usage, and online safety. This development comes amidst TikTok's potential long-term future in the US, as President Joe Biden signed legislation requiring TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell its US assets within 270 days.
