Video sharing platform TikTok has removed more than 9.1 million videos from Nepal in the last one year. TikTok claims that more than 99 percent of the videos removed were detected and removed by its own AI (automated detection technology) before users reported them.
The company has recently said that it has made significant improvements to its AI moderation system. This system can easily detect videos created by AI and TikTok has removed 1.8 percent of the content created or edited by AI globally.
‘The number of videos removed without even being watched has decreased,’ TikTok said in a statement, ‘This indicates improvements in our AI-based moderation system.’ It has also been able to identify and remove old content that violates the rules. While TikTok is 'proactive' in removing posts that do not follow its guidelines, it has made it clear that it has adopted a policy of reducing access to objectionable comments.
'TikTok has now adopted a strategy of reducing the access to some inappropriate or objectionable comments rather than removing them outright,' the statement said, 'as a result, there has been a significant decrease in the comment removal rate. ' The platform has published a report that it has removed 1.932 million 575 videos from Nepal in the last quarter of 2025 alone (October to December). When counting all four quarters, TikTok appears to have removed 9.14 million videos posted from Nepal. .
According to TikTok's 'Community Guidelines Enforcement Report', these videos were removed for violating the platform's guidelines. The website states that the active rate of video removal in Nepal during this period was 99.9 percent. According to TikTok, 98.4 percent of the videos removed were removed within 24 hours of being posted.
In 2025, TikTok removed more than 707.7 million videos globally that violated its rules. However, the company stated that this number is only 0.5 percent to 0.7 percent of the total content uploaded to TikTok.
Globally, TikTok has made public the data that it has removed 175.3 million 2,085 videos in this quarter alone. This number is only about 0.5 percent of the total content uploaded to the platform during that period, the statement states. Of the total videos removed, more than 152 million were removed using automated technology or AI, the report said.
‘A total of 8.36 million,780 videos were reinstated after review,’ the statement said, ‘with an active removal rate of 99.1 percent, 93.4 percent of flagged content was removed within 24 hours of posting.’
TikTok also said it removed 147.716,518 fake accounts over the three-month period. In addition, an additional 23.878,879 accounts suspected of being under the age of 13 were also removed. TikTok said in a statement that 21.2 percent of the videos removed were ‘sensitive’ or contained adult content. TikTok said it removed 9.1 percent of content that violated security standards and 1.2 percent that violated privacy, while 1.6 percent spread misinformation and 1.8 percent was AI-generated or edited.
