Kathmandu. TikTok has released its Q2 2024 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, showcasing its ongoing commitment to creating a safe digital space for its users. The report, which covers data from April to June 2024, details the proactive steps TikTok has taken to identify and remove content that violates its Community Guidelines, ensuring a positive experience for its global community.
Globally, TikTok removed 178,827,465 videos worldwide in this quarter, representing about 1.0% of all content uploaded to the platform. Of the removed videos, 144,430,133 were detected and taken down using automated detection technologies, while 5,394,318 videos were reinstated after further review. The proactive removal rate stood at 98.2%, with 93.5% of the flagged content removed within 24 hours of posting.
This technological advancement enables TikTok to scale its moderation efforts and maintain a secure environment for its growing global community. With a proactive detection rate of 98.2%, TikTok is more efficient than ever at addressing harmful content before users encounter it. The report also highlights a 50% reduction in restored videos, reinforcing the accuracy and effectiveness of TikTok’s content moderation systems.
The report also indicates that a significant portion of removed videos—31%—contained sensitive or mature themes that did not align with TikTok’s content policies. An additional 15.1% of videos breached the platform’s safety and civility standards, while 4.7% violated privacy and security guidelines.
Like last quarter, TikTok will continue summarising the removed Covert Influence Operations (CIO) networks. At the same time, detailed information on disrupted individual operations is available in a new standalone report.
The periodic publication of the Community Guidelines Enforcement Report offers insights into the scale and nature of content and account actions, underscoring TikTok’s commitment to complete transparency.
