TikTok’s enforcement measures in Kenya cover videos, LIVE sessions and suspected underage accounts.
TikTok says it removed most offending videos before users reported them and interrupted 80,640 LIVE sessions in Kenya.
TikTok video removals in Kenya reached 750,185 between April and June 2026 over breaches of its community guidelines. The company disclosed the figures in its second-quarter Community Guidelines Enforcement Report.
TikTok said it removed 99.8 percent of those videos before users reported them. It also took down 93.8 percent within 24 hours of publication.
Beyond video takedowns, the platform interrupted 80,640 LIVE sessions in Kenya for guideline violations during the quarter. It also removed more than 46,000 accounts suspected to belong to children under 13.
TikTok video removals extend to AI-generated content
In Kenya, TikTok removed nearly 11,000 videos under its policies on edited media and artificial intelligence-generated content. Those policies form part of its efforts to address risks associated with synthetic media.
The company also introduced an in-app AI Literacy Hub in Kenya. The hub aims to help users identify AI-generated content and use the technology responsibly.
Alongside those educational efforts, TikTok requires creators to label realistic material generated through artificial intelligence. It also uses Content Credentials technology to help identify content that AI has created or significantly altered.
These measures come amid increasing scrutiny of digital platforms over misinformation, child protection and harmful online content.
Automated systems drive global enforcement
Globally, TikTok removed approximately 188.3 million videos during the same quarter. Users published more than 42.2 billion videos, meaning the removals represented about 0.4 percent of total uploads.
Automated systems accounted for 97.4 percent of global video removals. The figure highlights the central role of automated moderation in enforcing the platform’s rules across large volumes of content.
However, TikTok reinstated approximately 6.3 million videos worldwide after successful appeals. Those reversals highlight the challenge of enforcing safety rules while protecting users’ freedom of expression.
Meanwhile, technology companies face mounting pressure to tackle misinformation and other harmful material as online content consumption expands. TikTok’s figures cover enforcement against videos, livestreams and suspected underage accounts.
