TikTok has removed 750,185 videos in Kenya for breaching its Community Guidelines, according to its second quarter 2026 enforcement report, covering activities between April and June.

The report highlights the platform’s continued efforts to keep its online community safe by identifying and removing content that violates its rules, often before users have a chance to report it.

 

Of the videos taken down in Kenya, 99.8 per cent were removed proactively, while 93.8 per cent were taken down within 24 hours of being uploaded.

The platform also removed more than 46,000 accounts in Kenya suspected to belong to users below the age of 13. Worldwide, over 26 million accounts believed to have been operated by underage users were also removed as part of efforts to protect children online.

 

TikTok’s enforcement activities extended across its global platform, where more than 42.2 billion videos were uploaded during the second quarter of 2026. Of these, approximately 188.3 million videos were removed for violating the platform’s rules, representing about 0.4 per cent of all content posted during the period.

 

The company said automated moderation systems detected 97.4 per cent of the violations. It also reported that 99.5 per cent of the videos removed globally were taken down before users reported them, while 92.7 per cent were removed within 24 hours of posting.
