Wednesday, TikTok launched a new platform to woo small business advertisers (File)
Social media app TikTok said Thursday it removed more than 49 million videos from its platform in the second half of last year for violating its guidelines.
These videos represented less than 1% of the total published on the platform and fell into categories such as “violent and graphic content, hate speech and adult nudity,” he said in a report published on his website.
About a third of the videos came from India, followed by the United States and Pakistan, he added.
The transparency report comes days after the Chinese-owned company ByteDance was banned from India, one of its largest markets, after a Sino-Indian border conflict. The short form video creation app also decided to leave the Hong Kong market after China implemented a new national security law for the semi-autonomous city.
On Wednesday, TikTok launched a new platform to woo small business advertisers. The platform, however, was full of challenges, especially after the Trump administration’s threat this week to impose a ban on China-based social media apps.
