Affected customers began sharing screenshots of the text on reddit and Threads this morning, and T-Mobile's chief marketing officer Allan Samson confirmed the news to The Verge:

Tidal shared its new policies regarding AI-generated music today and how the platform plans to "protect artists" and "inform listeners."
