The company said its action on offending content during the quarter was one of the highest rates ever recorded by TikTok for rapid content removal. 

TikTok attributed its drastic action on continued investment in AI moderation technologies, which saw a record 91 percent of this violative content is now removed via automated technologies, ensuring consistency and speed. 

To protect TikTok's integrity, the platform has removed more than 118 million fake accounts. In addition, we removed more than 22 million accounts that were suspected to be under the age of 13.
