TikTok removed 750,185 videos in Kenya between April and June 2026 for violating its Community Guidelines, according to the platform’s latest enforcement report released on Monday.

The Q2 2026 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report shows that 99.8 per cent of the videos were removed before users reported them, while 93.8 per cent were taken down within 24 hours of being posted.

The platform also removed more than 46,000 accounts in Kenya suspected to belong to children below the age of 13, as part of efforts to enforce its minimum age requirements.

TikTok further disclosed that it interrupted 80,640 LIVE sessions in Kenya during the three-month period over violations of its guidelines.

The report also highlighted the platform’s efforts to regulate artificial intelligence-generated content. Nearly 11,000 videos in Kenya were removed under its policy on edited media and AI-generated content.

Globally, TikTok removed approximately 188.3 million videos out of more than 42.2 billion uploaded during the second quarter. Automated systems detected 97.4 per cent of the violations, while about 6.3 million videos were restored following successful appeals.

The platform said it combines automated moderation systems with human reviewers to identify and remove content that breaches its policies, including misinformation, hate speech, harassment and other harmful material.

The figures come amid growing scrutiny of social media companies over content moderation, online safety and the use of artificial intelligence on digital platforms.
