Philippines (7,902,705), Indonesia (6,892,463), Brazil (4,782,803), Russia (4,696,930), Bangladesh (3,475,456), Mexico (2,773,898), and Vietnam are other top nations on the takedown list (2,438,307).
Because the videos violate TikTok’s community rules, which are “intended to build an experience that prioritizes safety, inclusivity, and authenticity,” they were taken down.
