Report March 2026

TikTok’s mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. With more than 200 million people across Europe coming to TikTok every month, including 178 million in the EU, 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 reported. In H2 2025, more than 98% 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.

Our actions under the Code demonstrate TikTok’s strong commitment to combating disinformation while ensuring transparency and accountability to our community and regulators.
