ByteDance’s short drama platform Hongguo said it removed the AI-generated series Peach Blossom Hairpin after a complaint and a 72-hour review found the producer could not provide evidence of compliant authorization. The platform also suspended the producer’s uploads for 15 days and pledged stronger review and authorization verification processes.
TikTok is reportedly testing a dedicated short-drama feed in the US and other markets and has taken steps consistent with expanding into original short-drama production. The move could strengthen retention and monetization but may heighten competition with existing in-app mini-drama partners and increase production and governance complexity.
