TikTok has released its Q3 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report<\/a>, reaffirming the platform\u2019s ongoing commitment to fostering a safe, positive, and authentic digital environment for its global community. From July to September 2025, TikTok removed a total of 17,410,066<\/strong> videos across the MENA region for violating its Community Guidelines. These figures represents the enforcement efforts across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Lebanon, and Morocco, offering a comprehensive view of TikTok\u2019s continued investment in safety and trust during the quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the enhancements to safety technologies and content moderation processes shared earlier this year, this quarter\u2019s report highlights record-breaking results globally.

These advances ensure that violative content is addressed more rapidly, significantly reducing the likelihood of community exposure.

In parallel with these technological efficiencies, TikTok intensified efforts to safeguard younger audiences by removing over 22 million suspected under 13 accounts<\/strong> globally<\/strong> during Q3 2025.
