TikTok removed 750,185 videos in Kenya between April and June 2026 for violating its Community Guidelines, according to the platform’s latest enforcement report.
The report, released on November 9, shows that 99.8% of the videos were removed before users reported them, while 93.8% were taken down within 24 hours of being posted.
The violations covered several categories, including sexually harmful content, fraud and scams, misinformation, suicide and self-harm, hate speech, harassment, human trafficking and violent material.
TikTok also removed more than 46,000 accounts in Kenya suspected of belonging to users under the age of 13. Globally, the platform removed approximately 26.8 million accounts suspected of belonging to children in the same age group.
Enforcement measures also extended to livestreaming. TikTok interrupted 80,640 LIVE rooms in Kenya during the quarter for violating its guidelines.
Worldwide, the platform removed approximately 188.3 million videos out of more than 42.2 billion uploaded during the same period. Automated detection systems identified 97.4% of the violations, while 99.5% of the videos were removed before users reported them and 92.7% within 24 hours of posting.
The platform also reinstated approximately 6.3 million videos globally following successful appeals.
Artificial intelligence-generated content was another focus of the report. TikTok said it removed nearly 11,000 videos in Kenya under its policies on edited media and AI-generated content.
The company requires creators to label realistic AI-generated material and has introduced an in-app AI Literacy Hub in Kenya to help users identify synthetic content, use AI tools responsibly and understand the platform’s safety measures. Users can access the hub by searching for AI-related terms on TikTok.
The figures highlight the scale of content moderation on the platform as it continues to address concerns around harmful content, child safety, misinformation and the growing use of artificial intelligence.
However, the figures represent enforcement actions reported by TikTok and do not independently measure the overall prevalence of harmful content on the platform.
