TikTok removes nearly 15,000 videos daily in Kazakhstan

Over 7.5 billion attempts to artificially increase follower counts were blocked before they could be reflected in account statistics

Thousands of posts are published daily on the Kazakhstani segment of TikTok, many of which are subsequently removed for violating the platform’s policies. In the second quarter of 2026, the company recorded more than 1.37 million content removals, El.kz reports.

TikTok moderates content in accordance with its Community Guidelines, which govern videos, comments and livestreams, as well as user conduct on the platform. Restrictions apply, among other things, to dangerous activities, threats, bullying and harassment, sexually explicit content, and other policy violations.

During the reporting period, TikTok removed over 1.37 million videos in Kazakhstan. Spread across the entire quarter, this amounts to approximately 15,000 videos per day.

Most content removals take place before other users have an opportunity to report the content. According to TikTok, 99.6% of content violating its policies was identified proactively by the platform itself. This means that automated detection systems review content and identify potential violations without waiting for user reports.

The speed of enforcement is also a separate performance indicator in the report. The company states that 92.1% of prohibited videos were removed within the first 24 hours after publication. For content creators, this means that a post may be subject to moderation almost immediately after it is published.

TikTok also reported on its efforts to combat artificial engagement. During the second quarter, the platform prevented the creation of 352 million fake accounts worldwide.

The company also removed 6.2 billion artificially generated likes, along with fake followers and comments posted through fraudulent profiles. TikTok continues to improve its technologies to prevent the artificial amplification of creators’ reach and video visibility.

In addition, over 7.5 billion attempts to artificially increase follower counts were blocked before they could be reflected in account statistics.
