TikTok has deleted more than 30 million videos from Pakistan during the second quarter of 2024 for violating community guidelines.

A Community Guidelines Enforcement Report released by TikTok stated that the platform has deleted more than 30,709,744 videos from TikTok in Pakistan in recent years.

99.5 per cent of videos were deleted before users reported them, while 97 per cent were deleted within 24 hours, the report said.

The above data highlights TikTok’s commitment to ensuring the platform is safe for Pakistani users.

More than a billion people from all over the world visited this platform daily, and millions of videos, photos, and other content were posted there.

TikTok has deleted more than 178,827,465 videos from around the world in the second quarter of this year, excluding Pakistan. 144,430,133 were deleted through automation, indicating the platform’s advanced use of its detection technology to eliminate harmful content in real time.

The report also highlights a 50 per cent reduction in the number of restored videos, reinforcing the accuracy and effectiveness of TikTok’s content moderation system.

TIKTOK DELETED PAKISTANI VIDEOS IN JULY THIS YEAR:

TikTok has deleted 20 million videos in Pakistan that violated the social media giant’s community guidelines. The company wants to make sure its platform is safe and respectful for all users.

This isn’t the first time TikTok has removed videos in Pakistan. Last year, it deleted 11.7 million videos for the same reason.

TikTok uses special tools to find and remove videos that don’t follow its rules. It also deleted 21 million accounts that belonged to children under 13.

In the meanwhile, it reported that proactive measures resulted in the global removal of 166,997,307 films, or around 0.9 percent of all videos posted on the site. “A significant fraction of these, 6,042,287 movies, were reinserted after additional examination, whereas 129,335,793 videos were recognised and removed by automatic detection systems.”

TikTok has now disclosed the number of comments removed and filtered by its comment safety tools for the first time. TikTok has removed and filtered 976,479,946 comments during the three-month period.

In Pakistan alone, the platform took action against 20,207,878 videos for also breaching its community guidelines during the same period. The platform utilizes automated systems to identify and remove videos that breach its rules.
