Tik-Tok has released its Q2 2024 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, shedding light on the platform’s proactive approach to content moderation in Nigeria.

This quarterly report provides transparency into the content and accounts removed during the reporting period, for violating the platform’s Community Guidelines.

The report reveals that over 2.1 million videos were removed from TikTok in Nigeria, which is less than 1% of the total videos uploaded in the country in the latest reporting period, as the platform continues to strengthen its content moderation systems to safeguard its diverse community.

Key findings show that that 99.1% of these videos were proactively removed before users reported them, with 90.7% taken down within 24 hours.

These figures highlight TikTok’s commitment to staying ahead of harmful content, ensuring a safer platform for Nigerian users.

In June 2024, the platform removed over 178 million videos and of these, 144 million were removed through automation globally.

These technical advancements reduce the volume of content that moderators review, helping minimise human exposure to violative content.

With a proactive detection rate now at 98.2% globally , TikTok is more efficient than ever at addressing harmful content before users encounter it.
