TikTok removed more than 750,000 videos uploaded in Kenya and interrupted over 80,000 LIVE sessions between April and June 2026 as the platform stepped up enforcement of its content rules.
The figures were released on Monday, November 9, in the company’s Q2 2026 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, which details action taken against content that violates its policies.
According to the report, 99.8 per cent of the videos removed in Kenya were detected before users reported them. Another 93.8 per cent were taken down within 24 hours of being posted.
The platform also interrupted 80,640 LIVE rooms over violations of its guidelines, raising concerns for creators who use livestreaming to interact with followers and earn money through the platform.
TikTok said creators who breach, or are at risk of breaching, its LIVE monetisation rules may receive warnings to help them understand the requirements and correct their content.
“Warnings serve as an opportunity to educate creators when their content may breach LIVE monetisation policies, allowing them to make necessary changes,” the company stated.
The enforcement exercise also covered AI-generated content, with TikTok removing nearly 11,000 videos in Kenya under its policies on edited media and artificial intelligence.
The platform requires creators to label realistic AI-generated content so that viewers can tell when footage has been created or significantly altered using artificial intelligence.
TikTok said it relies on several measures to identify such material, including creator labelling tools, automated detection systems and C2PA Content Credentials technology.
As a result of these enforcement efforts, the firm launched an AI Literacy Hub on its Kenyan application.
The hub was meant to assist users in understanding how AI-generated content is generated and how to identify such content as well as how to responsibly utilize AI.
Users will be able to access the hub through the search function by looking up terms related to AI on TikTok.
The move in Kenya is just one part of the global clampdown on content that goes against the rules set out by the app.
Globally, TikTok has deleted around 188.3 million videos from over 42.2 billion uploaded videos between April and June 2026. The deleted videos were about 0.4 percent of all videos published during the period.
The platform also took action against 47,176,654 LIVE sessions and 26,781,135 LIVE creators globally over violations of its LIVE monetisation guidelines.
The latest figures highlight TikTok’s increased attention to livestreaming and AI-generated material as more creators use the platform to reach audiences and make money from their content.
