6 million videos removed in Pakistan by TikTok for violating community guidelines
Pakistan ranks 4th on the global list of the largest volume of videos taken down for violating community guidelines.
In the third quarter of 2021, TikTok, the world’s most popular short-form video platform, removed more than 6 million videos from Pakistan, placing it fourth in the world for the most videos taken down for Community Guidelines violations.
On Monday, TikTok issued its Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, which details the number and nature of infringing content and accounts that have been removed from the social media platform.
73.9 percent of content inciting abuse and harassment was proactively removed, and 72.4 percent of hateful videos were also removed before anybody reported them, according to the rules.
Between July 1 and September 30 of 2021, 91 million videos were removed globally, accounting for around 1 percent of all videos uploaded. Nearly 95 percent of those videos were taken down before a user reported them, with 88 percent being taken down before they gained any views and 93 percent being taken down within 24 hours of being posted.
TikTok has updated its Community Guidelines in order to better promote the platform’s integrity and the well-being of its users.
The sorts of activity and content that will be taken off from the platform or declared ineligible for recommendation in the ‘For You’ feed are clarified or expanded upon in these updates.
