(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.
Investigators found 2,145 items of content which they assessed as glorifying past terrorist attacks or terrorists.
The material was then flagged to TikTok for a voluntary review against their terms of service.
Among the referred content were items linked to ISIS and violent right-wing extremism and terrorism, such as videos and memes.
