In the first six months of 2025, TikTok took down 7,464,081 videos in Nigeria for violating its community guidelines. That is, 3,683,655 between January and March and another 3,780,426 between April and June. To put that in perspective, that\u2019s over 41,000 videos removed every single day, or roughly 1,700 videos every hour.<\/p>\n
The numbers, released in TikTok\u2019s latest transparency report, reveal both the scale of harmful content on the platform and the company\u2019s increasingly aggressive approach to policing what Nigerians see and share.<\/p>\n
One of the most striking findings is how quickly TikTok now catches problematic content. In the first quarter of 2025, 88.2% of all removed videos had zero views. By the second quarter, that number improved slightly to 88.3%. This means nearly 9 out of 10 harmful videos were deleted before a single Nigerian user saw them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
