TikTok’s management practices include deleting user accounts that may have violated the platform’s policies on a quarterly basis. According to a study from Bytedance’s short video platform TikTok, 2.4 million videos posted by Nigerian users were removed in the fourth quarter of 2024 for content violations.

TikTok has eliminated the videos in Nigeria uploaded in the last quarter in 2024 as part of its ongoing efforts to reaffirm its commitment to online safety.

The site claims that in Q4, films that violated its regulations came from as many as 50 countries, including Nigeria.

But with 8.5 million films deleted, the United States had the most infractions and the most removed videos overall.

This was revealed by TikTok in its most recent Community Guidelines Enforcement report, which showed that during the reviewed time, 153 million videos were taken down worldwide.

According to the firm, around 90% of all material deletions during the quarter occurred in the top 50 areas in terms of policy breaches.

TikTok’s rules, which focus on Integrity and Authenticity, Privacy and Security, Mental and Behavioural Health, Safety, and Civility, among other things, were allegedly broken by the deleted content.

TikTok reported that throughout the reviewed time, it deleted 211.5 million accounts that were found to be fraudulent or in the possession of individuals who were thought to be younger than 13 years old.

However, it emphasized that the action was a worldwide endeavour with local implications, with the goal of reinforcing the platform’s commitment to online safety.

The majority of terminated accounts during that time were fake accounts. The study claims that 185.3 million phony accounts were eliminated in total.

Furthermore, 5.6 million accounts were deleted for unspecified reasons, and 20.5 million accounts that were thought to belong to people younger than 13 were deleted.

“We continue to be attentive in our efforts to identify external threats and protect the platform from fraudulent interaction and accounts.

The stated metrics in these regions occasionally fluctuate as a result of these threats’ ongoing probing and attacks on our systems.

Some of the overall gains shown in these categories were caused by changes we made to the way we categorize followers and fraudulent likes that were eliminated over time in Q4 2024.

The business said in the report, “This update better reflects the scale of our existing work to promptly identify and remove any accounts, content, or activities that seek to artificially boost popularity on our platform.”

TikTok has been dealing with issues from several nations due to the usage and types of content on the network, even with all of its enforcement activities.

Thirteen U.S. states and the District of Columbia filed complaints against the social media behemoth in October of last year, alleging that it had failed to safeguard its underage users.

The claims, which have been filed individually in 11 states, California, New York, and Washington, D.C., claim that TikTok’s platform is made to be addictive and takes advantage of kids’ susceptibility to increase revenue.

The cases, which call for monetary fines and greater responsibility for the Chinese-owned corporation, escalate TikTok’s ongoing legal struggle with US regulators.

The states claim that TikTok’s software is purposefully made to keep users, especially kids engaged over long stretches of time, which raises questions regarding mental health and the effectiveness of the platform’s content control initiatives.

“TikTok is committed to improving its security protocols and working with international professionals to protect its users,” the statement said.
