TikTok removes six million videos in Pakistan for violating guidelines
Islamabad: Popular video sharing platform TikTok, which is owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance, has removed over six million videos from Pakistan during the July-September quarter of the last year for violating its guidelines.
According to the “Community guidelines enforcement report” released by the video-sharing platform on Monday, it removed 73.9 percent of content against which there were complaints that they encouraged harassment and bullying, while 72.4 percent of videos found to be inciting hate were removed before anyone reported them, reports The Dawn.
“In order to protect the safety of the community and to preserve integrity of the platform, 91.44 million videos were removed across the world between July 1 and Sept 30 last year", the report revealed as quoted by the Pak newspaper.
However, this number amounts to only one per cent of all videos uploaded on the platform and 95 per cent of these videos were removed before a user lodged a complaint.
