TikTok's crackdown on violations

TikTok has removed more than half a million videos from its Kenyan user base between April and June 2025 as part of its ongoing effort to maintain a safe and positive digital environment.

According to the company’s Quarter 2, 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, a total of 592,037 videos were taken down in Kenya for violating the platform’s Community Guidelines.

TikTok says its proactive moderation systems enabled the swift identification and removal of harmful content, with 92.9% of the videos deleted before they were viewed and 96.3 per cent within 24 hours of posting.

Globally, the platform removed more than 189 million videos in the same period, representing just 0.7 per cent f all content uploaded to TikTok. Of these, 99.1 per cent were detected proactively through automated systems, while 94.4 per cent were removed within 24 hours.
