TikTok has released its Community Guidelines Enforcement Report for the second quarter of 2025, highlighting the steps it is taking to maintain a safe online space for users.
The report covers activities from April to June 2025 and outlines how the platform continues to remove content that breaks its rules.
In Kenya, TikTok removed over 592,000 videos during the three-month period for violating its Community Guidelines. Most of these videos were deleted before anyone could watch them (92.9 percent), while 96.3 percent were taken down within 24 hours of being posted.
Globally, the platform took down more than 189 million videos, which represents about 0.7 percent of all uploads. Out of these, 99.1 percent were detected automatically, and 94.4 percent were deleted within one day. TikTok’s AI moderation systems were responsible for removing around 163.9 million videos.

In addition, TikTok deleted over 76 million fake accounts and more than 25 million accounts believed to belong to users under the age of 13.
The company says it uses a mix of technology and human review teams to identify harmful or misleading content quickly. This combined effort helps reduce the spread of misinformation, hate speech and other inappropriate material on the app.
TikTok Tightens Rules for LIVE Creators
For the first time, TikTok has also shared details about how it manages LIVE videos that earn money. The goal is to reward creators who produce safe, genuine, and high-quality content while preventing streams that violate its rules.
“We are also reporting a significant increase in the number of LIVE streams we suspended since the first quarter of the year, thanks to improved moderation technologies. As we have strengthened our enforcement strategies, we have seen only a small increase in the number of LIVEs restored following appeal, suggesting that these improvements are accurately targeting violative LIVEs,” the wrote in the report.
Between April and June 2025, the platform took action on 2.3 million LIVE sessions and 1 million creators for breaking its LIVE monetization guidelines. These actions included warnings and demonetization for those who went against the rules.
TikTok says warnings are meant to educate creators so they can correct their content and continue streaming responsibly in the future.
