TikTok reported removing over 2.1 million videos in Nigeria in the second quarter of 2024 due to violations of its community guidelines.
In the Community Guidelines Enforcement (CGE) Report released on Tuesday, TikTok stated that this action is part of its ongoing initiative to improve content moderation and ensure a safer platform for users.
According to the report, “Key findings show that 99.1 percent of these videos were proactively removed before users reported them, with 90.7 percent taken down within 24 hours.
These figures highlight TikTok’s commitment to staying ahead of harmful content, ensuring a safer platform for Nigerian users.”
The removed videos account for less than 1 per cent of total uploads in Nigeria during the specified period.
Globally, TikTok announced it had taken down over 178 million videos in June 2024, with 144 million of these removals managed through automated systems.
TikTok noted, “With a proactive detection rate now at 98.2 percent globally, TikTok is more efficient than ever at addressing harmful content before users encounter it.”
The company affirmed its commitment to further investment in technologies aimed at enhancing content moderation and assessing potential risks.
Additionally, TikTok reinforced its dedication to transparency and platform safety for its diverse user base in Nigeria and worldwide.
