(National-UAE) TikTok has removed thousands of items of terrorism-related content from its platforms in Europe in a police operation to tackle online extremism.

In a joint operation with Europol’s European Counter Terrorism Centre (ECTC), the video-sharing platform worked with 11 countries to target suspected terrorist and violent extremist content online.
