TikTok, the popular social media app, has removed over 12.68 million videos that were uploaded from Pakistan. The move comes as part of the platform’s efforts to combat the spread of misinformation and inappropriate content on its platform.
According to a statement released by TikTok, the removed videos violated the platform’s community guidelines and terms of service. The company said that it has been working to improve its content moderation policies and tools to ensure that its platform is safe and respectful for all users.
TikTok has been under scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers around the world for its handling of controversial content, including videos that promote hate speech, violence, and misinformation. In response, the platform has implemented a range of measures, including stricter content moderation policies, increased transparency, and collaboration with third-party fact-checkers.
In Pakistan, TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms, with millions of users sharing videos on a wide range of topics. However, the platform has also faced criticism for allowing the spread of inappropriate content, including videos that promote sexual harassment and violence against women.
TikTok’s decision to remove over 12.68 million videos uploaded from Pakistan is a significant step towards improving its content moderation policies and ensuring that its platform is safe and respectful for all users. The move has been welcomed by activists and civil society groups, who have been calling for greater regulation and oversight of social media platforms to prevent the spread of harmful content.
