Amid renewed calls to ban the app, after India blocked all Chinese-originated apps due to concerns around their potential data-sharing obligations with the Chinese Government, TikTok has this week published its latest transparency report, which provides specific detail on all of the requests that the app has received from law enforcement and government bodies relating to content removals or data.
TikTok is also now including detail on content removals due to violations of the platform’s Community Guidelines and/or Terms of Service within its reports, as it seeks to demonstrate full transparency in its processes. But there are still some questions there – here’s a look at the latest data, which covers the last six months of 2019 (July 1st to December 30th).
First off, TikTok says that it removed 49,247,689 videos in the period for violating its Community Guidelines or Terms of Service, with the vast majority of those originating from India.
