TikTok reads C2PA and generator metadata on ingest and down-ranks or labels clips it flags as AI — and as ByteDance, it is especially tuned to its own and rival generators. Google Veo ships with exactly the signals TikTok looks for. Strip every one and post clean.
Short version: Remove Veo's watermark and AI metadata so your video posts to TikTok with no 'Made with AI' label or reach throttle. Free, with forensic proof. The core moves: Strip the Veo generator tag in XMP; Strip the C2PA Content Credentials; Strip the Encoder + container fingerprints. Calabi automates all of them — 10 free cleans with a forensic proof card on each.

AI detection on social platforms in 2026 is no longer a coin flip. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Reddit all run automated scanners on every upload before a human moderator sees it. The flag-rate on raw AI output is approaching 100% for the major generators (Sora, Veo, Kling, Midjourney). The only path forward is full sanitization — strip every signal, inject authentic phone identity, verify before posting.
