Resolves YES if by 23:59 UTC on Dec 31, 2026, at least one of the following platforms:
Meta (Facebook or Instagram)
X (Twitter)
TikTok
YouTube
officially enforces either:
A platform-wide ban on AI-generated content OR
A mandatory, clearly visible label for AI-generated content (text, image, audio, or video), enforced by policy and not optional for creators.
Evidence must come from:
Official policy pages
Company blog posts
Public announcements or enforcement documentation
Resolves NO if:
Labeling is optional
Labels exist but are rarely enforced
Only political ads or deepfakes are covered
Only third-party or voluntary disclosure tools exist
Notes
“Clearly labeled” means visible to normal users without clicking through menus.
Temporary trials or limited experiments do not count.
Country-specific rules count only if applied platform-wide in that region.
As of Jan 1, 2026, none of Meta (Facebook/Instagram), X, TikTok, or YouTube has a platform-wide ban on AI-generated content, nor a mandatory, clearly visible label enforced for all AI-generated content.
Some platforms have:
Optional AI disclosure tools
Limited rules for political ads or deepfakes
These do not meet the resolution criteria.
Current status: NO (baseline).
