TikTok, in its Community Guidelines Enforcement report, averred that the top 50 markets which violated its policies accounted for approximately 90 per cent of all content removals for the quarter.
According to the report, the deleted videos violate TikTok’s rules pertaining to safety, civility, mental and behavioural health, privacy and security, integrity and authenticity, among others.
TikTok claimed that within the period under examination, it had deleted 169 million accounts that had been found to be fraudulent or spam.

“From October through to the end of 2023, we removed more than 169 million fake accounts globally, and we have removed about 1.2 million bot comments on content tagged with hashtags related to the Israel-Hamas war.

“We remain vigilant in our efforts to detect external threats and safeguard the platform from fake accounts and engagement. These threats persistently probe and attack our systems, leading to occasional fluctuations in the reported metrics within these areas.

“Despite this, we are steadfast in our commitment to promptly identify and remove any accounts, content, or activities that seek to artificially boost popularity on our platform. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we saw an increase in some of our fake engagement metrics,” it added.
