TikTok Community Guidelines Report – Q1

TikTok Community Guidelines Report

TikTok Community Guidelines Report for Q1 is now out! It provides an overview of the key reasons as to why content is being removed from the app, how many posts are being removed in total, and how TikTok’s systems are working to minimize exposure to harmful content.

TikTok is now removing more content than ever, with sexualized content and fake accounts being among the most commonly detected violations. 

See the screenshot below, ‘nudity and sexual activity’ was another key reason for content removals, which underlines the ongoing concern that TikTok essentially promotes content, especially from young girls, as part of its lure to keep people scrolling through their ‘For You’ feed.

The main element within the ‘Minor safey’ segment was ‘nudity and sexual activity involving minors’, of which, TikTok says more than 92% were removed before any users even saw them.

Overall, TikTok’s enforcement numbers are in line with ongoing trends, especially in relation to its global expansion, and rising usage. But there are some notes of concern too, and while TikTok says that its systems are improving, there will always be some things that slip through the cracks.
