TikTok also disclosed that it intensified enforcement on its LIVE feature, interrupting more than 86,000 LIVE rooms in Nigeria for violating community standards.
Globally, the platform said it took enforcement actions, including warnings and demonetisation, against 17.7 million LIVE sessions and more than 9.2 million creators who breached its LIVE monetisation guidelines.
The report showed that worldwide, TikTok removed 175.3 million videos during the quarter, representing about 0.5 per cent of all content uploaded on the platform.
Of the total, 152.6 million videos were detected and removed through automated moderation systems, while 8.36 million videos were later reinstated after review. The platform recorded a global proactive removal rate of 99.1 per cent, with 93.4 per cent of violating content removed within 24 hours.
TikTok said it also continued efforts to tackle harmful and misleading artificial intelligence-generated content.
The company noted that creators are required to label realistic AI-generated images, audio and videos, while additional technologies, including content credentials and automated detection tools, are used to identify such content.
According to the platform, more than 1.3 billion videos have been labelled globally through its AI content identification systems.
TikTok reiterated its commitment to user safety, saying it combines advanced moderation technology with the work of thousands of trust and safety professionals to enforce its policies consistently.
The company added that it would continue collaborating with governments, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to promote safer digital spaces and combat harmful online content.
