TikTok says it removed more than 4.8 million videos in Nigeria during the first quarter of 2026 as it intensified enforcement against harmful content and strengthened AI safety measures.
The platform disclosed this in its Q1 2026 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, saying the removed videos represented 0.6 per cent of all content uploaded by Nigerian users during the period.
TikTok said 99.8 per cent of the violative videos were detected and removed proactively before users reported them, while 92.8 per cent were taken down within 24 hours.
It disclosed that globally, the platform removed more than 184 million videos, representing 0.5 per cent of uploads, reflecting continued investments in content moderation and safety systems.
TikTok said it also intensified enforcement on TikTok LIVE, suspending 120,000 LIVE sessions in Nigeria for violating Community Guidelines, about 40,000 more than the previous reporting period.
