TikTok has removed more than 3.6 million videos posted by Nigerian users in the first quarter of 2025 for violating its community guidelines, according to the platform’s latest enforcement report.
The figure represents a sharp increase of 50 percent from the 2.4 million videos taken down in the last quarter of 2024.
In its Q1 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, TikTok revealed a proactive detection rate of 98.4 percent, indicating that the vast majority of violative content was removed before users had the chance to report it.
The report also noted that 92.1 percent of the removed videos were taken down within 24 hours of being uploaded.
In addition to content violations, TikTok said it disrupted covert influence operations in March 2025, removing 129 accounts across West Africa that were linked to coordinated inauthentic behavior.
