TikTok

Report September 2026

Submitted
TikTok’s mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. With more than 200 million people across Europe coming to TikTok every month, including 189 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.

Our 2026 H1 report under the Code can be found below.

- Pressing and holding (i.e. tapping for 3 seconds) the video content and selecting the “Report” option.
- Selecting the “Share” button available on the right-hand side of the video content and then selecting the “Report” option.

TikTok Shop. Users can also report TikTok Shop content where it breaches policies or applicable law, including for harmful, false and/or misleading information. For advertisements and commission-based content containing a TikTok Shop product anchor, users are able to select a specific "misinformation" reporting category.
In line with our DSA requirements, we also continued to provide a dedicated reporting channel, and appeals process for our community in the European Union to ‘Report Illegal Content,’ enabling users to alert us to content they believe breaches the law.
