## Content

## In Short
TikTok removed 750,185 videos in Kenya in the second quarter of 2026 for violating its community guidelines.

Most removals were proactive, meaning TikTok took them down before any user reported them.

The update comes as Kenya considers tighter oversight of social media platforms.

## What Happened: TikTok Content Takedowns And LIVE Interruptions In Kenya
TikTok said it removed 750,185 videos in Kenya in the second quarter of 2026, according to its Community Guidelines Enforcement Report.

TikTok said 99.8% of the videos were removed proactively, before any user reported them. It also said 93.8% were taken down within 24 hours of being posted.

The figure was down from 884,591 videos removed in Kenya in the first quarter.

TikTok also removed more than 46,000 accounts in Kenya suspected of belonging to users under 13. Globally, it removed more than 26 million accounts suspected of belonging to users under 13.

During the quarter, the platform interrupted 80,640 TikTok LIVE rooms in Kenya for breaching its guidelines.

## What Happened: AI Generated Content Rules And New Safety Hub
TikTok said it removed nearly 11,000 videos in Kenya under its policy on edited media and AI generated content (AIGC).

The platform requires creators to label realistic AI generated material. It also uses automated detection and C2PA Content Credentials technology to help users identify content created or significantly altered with AI.

TikTok said it launched an in app AI Literacy Hub in Kenya, with guidance on spotting AI generated content and using AI tools responsibly. Users can find it by searching AI related terms on the platform.

## Why It Matters: Kenya’s Proposed Social Media Rules And Fines
The report comes as Kenya moves to tighten oversight of social media platforms.

Proposed amendments to the Kenya Information and Communications Act would require platforms including TikTok, Meta and X to register with the Communications Authority of Kenya and report illegal activity such as sexual exploitation, cyberbullying and impersonation.

A separate draft Online Safety Bill 2026 proposes fines of up to KES500 million (about US$3.9 million) or 10% of global turnover for platforms that fail in their duty of care.

Earlier this year, Parliament rejected calls for an outright TikTok ban in Kenya, opting instead for stronger regulation and user safeguards.
