Islamabad – TikTok has released its Q3 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, showcasing its ongoing commitment to creating a safe digital space for its users. The report, which covers data from July to September 2025, details the proactive steps TikTok has taken to identify and remove content that violates its Community Guidelines, ensuring a positive experience for its global community.
In Q3 2025, TikTok removed a total of 28 million (28,198,284) videos in Pakistan for Community Guidelines violations. Proactive removal rates in Pakistan remained high at 99.8%, with 95.9% of these videos removed within 24 hours. As technology takes on more of these tasks, our safety teams can dedicate more time to areas that rely on human judgment, such as reviewing appeals, seeking guidance from external experts, and responding to rapidly evolving situations.

The proactive removal rate stood at 99.3%, with 94.8% of the flagged content removed within 24 hours of posting. To upload TikTok’s integrity, in this quarter, the platform has removed 118,618,399 fake accounts, along with the additional 22,226,542 accounts that were suspected to be under the age of 13.
The report also indicates that a significant portion of total removed videos—30%—contained sensitive or mature themes that did not align with TikTok’s content policies. An additional 15.7% of videos breached the platform’s safety and civility standards, while 2.7% violated privacy and security guidelines.
