Renowned video-sharing platform TikTok on Monday released its Community Guidelines Enforcement Report for the first quarter of 2024, revealing that the platform has cracked down on millions of Pakistani videos.

According to the report, TikTok has taken action against 20,207,878 videos in Pakistan for violating its community guidelines.

The disclosure comes against the backdrop of the platform’s community guidelines being consistently enforced across all content and users and carefully crafted to provide users with a safe, inclusive and authentic environment.

Additionally, the report found that TikTok removed 166,997,307 videos worldwide, representing 0.9% of all videos uploaded to the platform.

A significant portion of these 129,335,793 videos were identified and removed through automated detection technologies, while 6,042,287 videos were restored after further review, it said.

Additionally, 976,479,946 comments were removed and filtered using comment safety tools during this three-month period.

In addition, to protect young users, 21,639,414 accounts suspected of belonging to people under the age of 13 were deleted.

In addition, the company has taken strict measures to prevent the spread of automated spam accounts.

“This release underscores TikTok’s unwavering commitment to transparency, safety and inclusivity and reflects its dedication to building trust and ensuring a safe platform for its global community,” the company said in a statement.

It was also emphasized that the regular publication of the Community Guidelines Enforcement Report provides insights into the scope and nature of content and account actions.

The platform also said it will continue to provide a summary of removed Covert Influence Operations (CIO) networks, while detailed information on individual disrupted operations will be available in a new standalone report.
