TikTok partners with Simon Cowell for new ‘StemDrop’ music project
TikTok has announced that it’s partnering with Universal Music Group, Republic Records, Samsung, and Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment to launch its new project, StemDrop, which they have described as “a groundbreaking new evolution in global music collaboration.”
It is launching in collaboration with what they are calling “one of the greatest songwriting teams in history,” led by producer Max Martin.
As part of the project, TikTok creators across the globe will be provided with music ‘stems’ exclusively, and will then create their own versions of new song ‘Red Lights.’

LinkedIn cracks down on fake profiles
LinkedIn is shedding light on an alarming piece of news that has caused it to further crack down against fake profiles.
This past week, the platform noticed how a huge number of its users listed Apple as their workplace and in just 24 hours, that was reduced to half. This is because they were fake and that is what led to the sudden dropdown in figures overnight.

New features
Meta has introduced Professional profiles to UK
Meta has introduced Professional profiles to the UK (has been available for a while) which allows you to get paid for content via Stars and obtain insights on your followers and content.
It doesn't look much different although you can allocate a category eg Digital Creator, as I've done with mine.
Big thanks for Matt Navarra for flagging this up in his Geekout newsletter.
New features coming to Facebook Groups
Meta adds Reels to Facebook Groups plus lots of other new features.
