TikTok has released its Q3 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, revealing that more than 580,000 videos were removed in Kenya between July and September 2025 for violating platform rules.

The report highlights TikTok’s continued push to strengthen digital safety through proactive moderation and artificial intelligence-driven enforcement.

Kenya: 99.7% of Violative Content Removed Proactively

According to the report, 99.7% of the 580,000 videos removed in Kenya were taken down before any user reported them. Additionally, 94.6% were removed within 24 hours of being posted.

The platform also interrupted approximately 90,000 Live sessions during the quarter for breaching content guidelines — representing about 1% of all Live streams conducted in that period.

Global Enforcement Figures

Globally, TikTok removed 204,534,932 videos during Q3 2025 — roughly 0.7% of all content uploaded to the platform during the quarter.

Of this content:

  • 99.3% was removed proactively before being reported
  • 94.8% was taken down within 24 hours

The company described these figures as among the highest rates ever recorded for rapid content removal.

AI Moderation and Fake Account Crackdown

TikTok reported that 91% of violative content globally is now removed through automated AI moderation technologies, improving speed and consistency in enforcement.

To safeguard platform integrity, the company also removed more than 118 million fake accounts during the quarter. Additionally, over 22 million accounts suspected to belong to users under the age of 13 were taken down.

Focus on Harmful Content

By combining automated systems with thousands of trust and safety professionals, TikTok says it is working to curb harmful content, including misinformation, hate speech, and other policy violations.

The Q3 report underscores the platform’s growing reliance on AI tools while maintaining human oversight to ensure consistent enforcement of its Community Guidelines.
