TikTok has released its Q1 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report. The new report shows how TikTok is trying to keep harmful or misleading content away from users, especially young people.
Between January and March of 2025, TikTok removed 24.9 million videos in Pakistan alone for violating community guidelines.
Most videos, 99.4%, were proactively removed, while 95.8% were removed within 24 hours of being posted.
Globally, TikTok removed over 211 million videos, which represented nearly 0.9% of total uploaded content, with an automatic detection of about 184 million of these videos; 7.5 million were restored after they went through a review process.
Notably, the total proactive removal rate seen on the platform globally was 99%, about 94% of which were removed within one day of being uploaded.
The report also breaks down the removals. Nearly 30% of the videos fell under sensitive/mature content, 15.6% broke privacy, and 11.5% were removed for safety and civility violations.
A significant portion, 45.5%, were flagged for misinformation, while 13.8% were flagged for AI-generated or -edited content that potentially misled views.
TikTok publishes that report regularly in an effort to assure their users and the public that they take content safety seriously.
The reporting of enforcement on platforms helps show the ways in which platforms like TikTok are responding to misinformation, harmful content, and digital safety.
