TikTok Removes Six Million Videos in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: The video-sharing mobile application TikTok has removed more than 6 million videos from Pakistan for violating community guidelines during third quarter of 2021.

With 6,019,754 videos removed, Pakistan ranked fourth in the world for the largest volume of videos taken down for violating community guidelines from Jul 1 – Sep 30 2021.

It is worth mentioning that TikTok has faced a ban in Pakistan for four times from Oct 2020 to July 2021 time and again for spreading immoral content. However, the ban was removed with a condition that the mobile App will introduce a robust mechanism for taking down controversial and obscene content in no time.

TikTok has released its community guidelines enforcement report detailing the volume and nature of the content and accounts removed from the platform in the third quarter of 2021 for breaching community guidelines. The report provides insight into content removed for violating the community guidelines and reinforcing the platform’s public-accountability to the community, policymakers and NGOs.
