> Pakistan remains one of TikTok's biggest enforcement markets. What the Q2 2026 report says, and how to appeal if your video was taken down by mistake.

**TikTok removed more than 23.2 million videos in Pakistan between April and June 2026 for breaking its Community Guidelines**, according to its Q2 2026 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, [ARY News reported](https://arynews.tv/tiktok-removed-23-2mn-videos-in-pakistan-for-violating-community-guidelines). That is about 1.1% of all videos posted from Pakistan in the quarter.

## TikTok Pakistan in numbers (April to June 2026)

| Measure | Pakistan | Worldwide |
|---|---|---|
| Videos removed | over 23.2 million | over 188.2 million |
| Removed proactively (before a report) | 99.7% | 99.5% (automated) |
| Removed within 24 hours of posting | 94.5% | 92.7% |
| Restored after review | 519,075 | 6,262,383 |

Pakistan accounted for roughly one in eight of all the videos TikTok removed worldwide in the quarter.

## Why videos were removed

TikTok gives the reasons only for its global total:

- Sensitive or mature themes: 19.5%
- Mental and behavioural health: 16.1%
- Body exposure and sexualised behaviour: 13.8%
- Dangerous activities and challenges: 13.5%
- Edited media and AI-generated content: 1.8%

Worldwide it also removed **146.8 million fake accounts** and **26.8 million accounts** it suspected belonged to children under 13.

## If your video was taken down by mistake

More than half a million Pakistani videos were put back up after a second look, so appeals do work.

1. Open the **Inbox** in the TikTok app and find the notice about the removed video.
2. Tap the notice, then **Submit an appeal**, and add a short reason.
3. Check **Account status** in Settings to see any strikes. Strikes expire after a set period, so avoid reposting the same clip while an appeal is open.

For creators earning from TikTok, a removed video can mean lost income. If you are paid from abroad, see our [freelancer tax calculator](/tools/tax/freelancer-tax-calculator). More technology news is on our [technology desk](/news/technology).
