Social media platform TikTok received more requests to remove material from Australia and New Zealand than it did from Iraq, an analysis of the company’s published data demonstrates.
In the six months from January to June 2023, the latest for which data is available, Australia sent 470 requests and New Zealand 215. In the same period, Iraq sent five. Only Russia and Bangladesh requested more items be censored, with 792 and 474 notices issued respectively.
