TikTok has warned Kenyan creators over LIVE sessions and AI-generated content after it removed over 750,000 videos and interrupted more than 80,000 LIVE sessions for violating its Community Guidelines.
The platform disclosed that the videos were removed between April and June 2026 as part of its efforts to enforce its content policies and protect users from harmful material.
In its Q2 2026 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report released on Monday, November 9, TikTok revealed that 99.8 per cent of the videos were removed before users reported them, while 93.8 per cent were taken down within 24 hours of being posted.
The company also revealed that it interrupted 80,640 LIVE rooms in Kenya over violations of its guidelines, urging creators to comply with rules governing livestreaming and content monetisation.
TikTok explained that creators who violate or risk breaching LIVE monetisation policies may receive warnings to help them understand the rules and make the necessary changes.
"Warnings serve as an opportunity to educate creators when their content may breach LIVE monetisation policies, allowing them to make necessary changes," the platform stated.
On AI-generated content, TikTok disclosed that it removed nearly 11,000 videos in Kenya under its policies governing edited media and AI-generated content during the three months.
The platform requires creators to label realistic AI-generated material to help viewers distinguish between authentic footage and content created or altered using artificial intelligence.
TikTok said it uses creator labelling tools, automated detection systems and C2PA Content Credentials technology to help identify content created or significantly modified using AI.
The company also announced the launch of an in-app AI Literacy Hub in Kenya to educate users on how to identify AI-generated material, use artificial intelligence responsibly and understand the platform's safety measures.
The hub can be accessed by searching for AI-related terms on TikTok, giving users guidance on navigating the growing use of artificial intelligence on the platform.
Globally, TikTok removed approximately 188.3 million videos out of more than 42.2 billion videos uploaded during the second quarter of 2026, representing about 0.4 per cent of all content published.
