The TikTok platform published its second community compliance report, revealing the number of deleted accounts and the respective reasons, as well as the countries with the most deleted videos in the quarter (April to June).
TikTok noted that they combine technology and human management to identify content that violates policies.
“Leveraging machine learning has been especially effective in countering harmful misinformation. We expand our ability to quickly iterate on our systems given the rapidly changing nature of disinformation, especially during a crisis or event (for example, the war in Ukraine or an election). We also improved our ability to detect known misleading audio and images to reduce manipulated content on the platform,” the report explained.

At the country level, TikTok highlighted that Ecuador is among the 30 with the most videos removed. In total there were 981,837 videos, of which 98.2% were for proactive removal, that is, to identify and remove an infringing video before users report it, 94.9% were for “zero-view removal”, which is delete the video after it was posted but before anyone saw it and 94.9% deleted it within 24 hours of posting.
The countries with the most deleted videos are the United States (over 17 million) and Pakistan (with 15 million). The list also includes Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Peru.
Similarly, in this second semester there were more than 59 million accounts removed from the platform, of which more than 20 million were suspected of belonging to children under 13 years of age, while 30 million were false.
“We have implemented measures to hide law enforcement actions from malicious actors and thus prevent them from learning about our detection capabilities. In this way, the number of spam accounts blocked at the time of registration decreased and the number of fake accounts eliminated increased,” the platform explained.
Within the TikTok rules is that the minimum age to open an account is 13 years. (YO)
