TL;DR Summary

Songs by artists including SZA, Doja Cat, and Mariah Carey are being removed from TikTok due to a licensing dispute with Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG). This comes after the expiration of the UMG/TikTok license agreement in January, affecting a significant portion of popular songs on the platform. TikTokers are expressing frustration and some are attempting workarounds, but these actions may violate TikTok's user agreement.
