币界网报道:TikTok's recent Johannesburg summit highlighted its aggressive content moderation efforts, revealing a 99.5% removal rate for policy-violating videos in Africa before user reports. The platform proactively eliminated 12.5 million clips in Q2 2023, with 93% deleted within 24 hours of upload. TikTok's Head of Trust & Safety for Sub-Saharan Africa emphasized investments in AI moderation and local language support to combat misinformation. The company also launched educational initiatives like the #AfricaFactCheck2023 campaign with 20+ fact-checking partners. Regional challenges include balancing free expression with harmful content removal, particularly around elections and health misinformation. TikTok's transparency report shows over 60% of removed content violated minor safety policies.
