European Union: European Commission published TikTok's hate speech moderation report under code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online

On 10 April 2026, the European Commission published TikTok's report under the code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online, covering the second half of 2025 across its platform, which reaches more than 178 million users in the European Union (EU) each month. The report focuses on all user-generated content, including videos, livestreams, comments, and advertisements, with hate speech explicitly prohibited under TikTok's community guidelines and enforced through a multi-layered system combining vision-based, audio-based, text-based, and similarity-based automated detection alongside human moderation teams covering at least one official language for each of the 27 EU member states. During the second half of 2025, TikTok received 56,549 user reports of illegal hate speech content, with a median action time of 3.05 hours, and separately received 77 trusted flagger reports corresponding to 74 unique pieces of content, actioned with a median turnaround of just over one hour. Beyond enforcement, TikTok empowers users through tools including comment filtering, creator care mode, and a "comment rethink" prompt, and collaborates with partners including UNESCO on media literacy and awareness campaigns, including hosting the TikTok Anti-Hate Summit in Dublin in June 2025.
