TikTok Steps Up Account Enforcement

Tate’s account ban comes amid increased enforcement activity on TikTok, with the platform recently taking action against high-profile accounts and millions of pieces of content.

In Nigeria, TikTok permanently banned popular content creator Carter Efe’s main account, which had more than 5.6 million followers.

Reports attributed the ban to repeated violations of the platform’s Community Guidelines.
