TikTok says it removed more than four million videos and interrupted over 86,000 LIVE sessions in Nigeria in the fourth quarter of 2025 as part of efforts to strengthen safety and integrity on the platform.
The social media platform disclosed this in its Q4 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report released on Tuesday.
It noted that it “removed 4.02 million videos in Nigeria for violating its Community Guidelines” during the period under review.
It added that “99.9 per cent of the offending videos were detected and removed proactively before users reported them, while 98.4 per cent were taken down within 24 hours of posting.”
The platform said the figures reflected its growing investment in automated detection technologies and rapid response systems aimed at curbing harmful content.
Globally, TikTok removed more than “175.3 million videos during the quarter under review, representing about 0.5 per cent of all content” uploaded on the platform.
TikTok said more than 152.5 million of the videos were removed through automated detection tools, while about 8.4 million videos were later reinstated following further reviews.
It highlighted enforcement actions on TikTok LIVE, noting that the company interrupted more than “86,000 LIVE sessions in Nigeria for breaching community guidelines.”
Worldwide, TikTok said it issued warnings, demonetised content and took other enforcement actions against more than 17.7 million LIVE sessions and 9.2 million creators who violated LIVE monetisation policies.
According to the company, warnings are designed to educate creators and enable them to correct content that may breach platform rules.
TikTok also reported intensified efforts to tackle harmful and misleading artificial intelligence-generated content.
The platform said it continued to require creators to label realistic AI-generated images, audio and video content while deploying automated detection systems and industry-standard Content Credentials technology to identify such materials.
It noted that the measures had contributed to the labelling of more than 1.3 billion AI-generated videos globally.
TikTok reaffirmed its commitment to providing a safe digital environment by combining advanced moderation technologies with the expertise of thousands of trust and safety professionals worldwide.
The company said it would continue collaborating with government agencies, including the Office of the National Security Adviser and civil society organisations, to promote safer digital spaces and combat harmful online content. (NAN)
