We reported videos containing explicit child sexual abuse material on TikTok’s platform: they have only removed 10 per cent of them

An investigation by Maldita.es found that TikTok has only removed 10% of videos containing explicit child sexual abuse material that were reported to the platform. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of TikTok's content moderation policies and the potential harm that can be caused to users, particularly children, who may be exposed to such content.

The incident highlights the importance of robust content moderation and safety measures on social commerce platforms like TikTok, where users can interact with and share content with others. As social commerce continues to grow, it is crucial for platforms to prioritize user safety and take proactive steps to prevent the spread of harmful content, in order to maintain trust and ensure a safe and positive experience for users.
