TikTok

Report September 2025

Submitted
TikTok’s mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. With a global community of more than a billion users, it’s natural for people to hold different opinions. That’s why we focus on a shared set of facts when it comes to issues that affect people’s safety. A safe, authentic, and trustworthy experience is essential to achieving our goals. Transparency plays a key role in building that trust, allowing online communities and society to assess how TikTok meets its regulatory obligations. As a signatory to the Code of Conduct on Disinformation (the Code), TikTok is committed to sharing clear insights into the actions we take.

TikTok takes disinformation extremely seriously. We are committed to preventing its spread, promoting authoritative information, and supporting media literacy initiatives that strengthen community resilience.

We prioritise proactive content moderation, with the vast majority of violative content removed before it is viewed or reported. In H1 2025, more than 97% of videos violating our Integrity and Authenticity policies were removed proactively worldwide.

We continue to address emerging behaviours and risks through our Digital Services Act (DSA) compliance programme, which the Code has operated under since July 2025. This includes a range of measures to protect users, detailed on our European Online Safety Hub. Our actions under the Code demonstrate TikTok’s strong commitment to combating disinformation while ensuring transparency and accountability to our community and regulators.

Measure 32.3
Relevant Signatories will regularly exchange information between themselves and the fact-checking community, to strengthen their cooperation.
QRE 32.3.1
Relevant Signatories will report on the channels of communications and the exchanges conducted to strengthen their cooperation - including success of and satisfaction with the information, interface, and other tools referred to in Measures 32.1 and 32.2 - and any conclusions drawn from such exchanges.
Our fact-checking partners access content which has been flagged for review through a dashboard made available for their exclusive use. The dashboard shows our fact-checkers certain quantitative information about the services they provide, including the number of videos queued for assessment at any one time, as well as the time the review has taken. Fact-checkers can also use the dashboard to see the rating they applied to videos they have previously assessed.

Going forward, we plan to continue to explore ways to further increase the quality of our methods of data sharing with fact-checking partners.

We continue to participate in the taskforce made up of the relevant signatories’ representatives that is being set up for this purpose. Meanwhile we are also engaging with EDMO pro-actively on this commitment.
