TikTok removed more than 49 million videos for violating its content policies in the second half of 2019, according to the company’s latest transparency report released this morning.
The short-form video site “proactively caught and removed” 98.2% of those videos before a user reported them, with 89.4% removed before they were seen by any users, the report said. Those 49 million removed videos represent “less than 1% of all the videos our users created.”
The report comes as the app, which is owned by China-based company ByteDance, faces intense scrutiny from governments around the world—including the United States—over national security concerns.
