TikTok Releases Q2 Community Guidelines Report In Nigeria, Showing Swift Action Against Harmful Content

TikTok has released its Q2 2024 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, emphasising its commitment to maintaining a safe and positive environment for Nigerian users. This report provides transparency into the platform’s content moderation efforts, highlighting the videos and accounts removed for violating community guidelines.

During this period, TikTok removed over 2.1 million videos from Nigeria—less than 1% of all content uploaded in the country. The platform’s proactive content moderation approach is evident, with 99.1% of the videos removed before being reported by users, and 90.7% taken down within 24 hours of their upload.

These actions reflect TikTok’s focus on ensuring user safety by addressing harmful content swiftly. The platform continues to invest in advanced technologies to detect and remove inappropriate material. Globally, TikTok removed over 178 million videos in June 2024, with 144 million of these removed through automated systems. These improvements have helped reduce the exposure of moderators to harmful content, as well as the speed of detection.

With a global proactive detection rate of 98.2%, TikTok is more efficient than ever at preventing harmful content from reaching its audience. The platform’s ongoing investment in cutting-edge moderation technology is coupled with its commitment to transparency, ensuring a secure space for its diverse Nigerian and global users.

TikTok’s report is part of its broader mission to inspire creativity and foster a joyful, safe environment for all users.

TikTok’s Community Guidelines Enforcement Report provides insight into how the platform maintains safety and integrity. With over 40,000 trust and safety professionals working alongside cutting-edge technology, TikTok enforces strict guidelines and policies to ensure a positive experience for all users.

TikTok is also the leading platform for short-form mobile videos, aiming to inspire creativity and bring joy to users around the world. The platform operates from its global headquarters in Los Angeles and Singapore, with additional offices in major cities including New York, London, and Tokyo.
