TikTok has urged Kenyan creators to follow its livestreaming and AI content rules.
TikTok urges Kenyan creators to follow livestreaming and AI content rules after removing more than 750,000 videos between April and June 2026.
A TikTok Kenya crackdown removed more than 750,000 videos and interrupted 80,640 LIVE rooms between April and June 2026. The platform said the content violated its Community Guidelines and urged creators to follow livestreaming and monetisation rules.
TikTok detailed the enforcement measures in its Q2 2026 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, released on November 9. The company said it removed 99.8 per cent of the videos before users reported them. It also took down 93.8 per cent within 24 hours of posting.
TikTok Kenya crackdown targets LIVE violations
The platform interrupted the Kenyan LIVE rooms over breaches of its guidelines. It also reminded creators to comply with the rules governing livestreams and how they earn money through them.
Globally, TikTok took action against 47,176,654 LIVE sessions and 26,781,135 LIVE creators during the same quarter. The company linked those actions to violations of its LIVE monetisation guidelines.
However, creators who violate or risk breaching monetisation policies may receive warnings to help them understand the requirements. TikTok said these warnings give creators an opportunity to learn the rules and adjust their content. The company described the warnings as an educational measure to help creators address potential breaches.
AI content labels and literacy tools
Meanwhile, TikTok removed nearly 11,000 videos in Kenya under its edited media and AI-generated content policies. Those removals also covered the April-to-June period.
The platform requires creators to label realistic AI-generated material so viewers can distinguish it from authentic footage. To identify material created or significantly altered using AI, TikTok uses creator labelling tools and automated detection systems. It also uses C2PA Content Credentials technology.
Alongside those measures, the company announced an in-app AI Literacy Hub in Kenya. The hub aims to help users identify AI-generated material and use artificial intelligence responsibly. It also explains the platform’s safety measures.
Users can access the hub by searching for AI-related terms on TikTok. The tool offers guidance as artificial intelligence plays a growing role in content on the platform.
Globally, TikTok removed approximately 188.3 million videos during the second quarter of 2026. Users uploaded more than 42.2 billion videos in that period, meaning removals represented about 0.4 per cent of published content.
