TikTok says it removed more than four million videos and interrupted over 86,000 LIVE sessions in Nigeria during the fourth quarter of 2025, as part of efforts to strengthen safety and integrity on the platform.
The social media company disclosed this in its Q4 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report released on Tuesday.
According to the report, TikTok removed 4.02 million videos in Nigeria for violating its community guidelines within the three-month period.
It said 99.9 per cent of the offending videos were detected and taken down proactively before being reported by users, while 98.4 per cent were removed within 24 hours of posting.
TikTok said the figures reflected increased investment in automated detection technologies and rapid response systems aimed at limiting harmful content.
Globally, the platform said it removed more than 175.3 million videos during the quarter, accounting for about 0.5 per cent of all content uploaded.
Of this figure, over 152.5 million videos were taken down using automated tools, while about 8.4 million were later reinstated after further review.
TikTok also disclosed enforcement actions on its LIVE feature, saying that more than 86,000 LIVE sessions were interrupted in Nigeria for breaching community guidelines.
Worldwide, the company said it issued warnings, demonetised content and applied other sanctions to more than 17.7 million LIVE sessions and 9.2 million creators who violated LIVE monetisation policies.

According to TikTok, warning notices are intended to educate creators and help them correct content that may fall foul of platform rules, rather than serving solely as punitive measures.
The report also pointed to intensified efforts to tackle harmful and misleading artificial intelligence-generated content.
TikTok said creators are required to label realistic AI-generated images, audio and video, while the company deploys automated detection systems and industry-standard Content Credentials technology to identify such materials.
It added that these measures contributed to the labelling of more than 1.3 billion AI-generated videos globally.
Reaffirming its commitment to digital safety, TikTok said it continues to combine advanced moderation technologies with the work of thousands of trust and safety professionals worldwide.
The company added that it would keep collaborating with government agencies, including the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), and civil society groups to promote safer online spaces and combat harmful content.
