ikTok removed more than 884,000 videos posted by users in Kenya during the first three months of 2026 after finding they violated the platform's Community Guidelines, with nearly all of the content detected and taken down before it was reported by users.
The latest TikTok Transparency Report shows that 884,591 videos uploaded in Kenya between January and March 2026 were removed for breaching the platform's rules.
According to the report, 99.7 per cent of the videos were identified and deleted through proactive detection before any user complaints were received.
The company also said 96.3 per cent of the violating content was removed within 24 hours of being uploaded, pointing to faster action against material that goes against its policies.
As part of its child safety measures, TikTok disclosed that it removed 48,739 accounts believed to belong to children under the age of 13 during the same period. The company said the action was aimed at enforcing its minimum age requirements and improving the safety of younger users on the platform.
The report further showed that TikTok stopped 103,847 LIVE sessions in Kenya after they were found to have violated the platform's Community Guidelines.
Worldwide, TikTok removed more than 184 million videos during the first quarter of 2026, accounting for about 0.5 per cent of all videos uploaded on the platform during the period.
Of the videos removed globally, more than 178 million were detected through automated moderation systems, while over 8.8 million were later restored after further review.
TikTok said its global proactive detection rate stood at 99.3 per cent, with 94.4 per cent of violating content taken down within 24 hours.
The platform also outlined measures it is taking to deal with AI-generated content that breaches its rules. During the quarter, it removed 14,261 videos worldwide under its policy covering edited media and AI-generated content (AIGC).
TikTok said creators are required to label realistic AI-generated content using creator tools and automated detection systems to help users identify such material.
The company also announced that it has joined the Steering Committee of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), an industry initiative that promotes transparency in AI-generated content.
According to TikTok, its AI content labelling systems have so far been applied to more than three billion videos across the platform.
The company said it remains committed to removing harmful content, including misinformation and hate speech, through a combination of automated moderation technology and human safety teams responsible for enforcing its Community Guidelines.
