The report revealed that Pakistan recorded a video removal rate of 1.1% during the second quarter.
Most of these videos were identified through the platform’s automated content moderation systems.

This means the platform detected and removed the content without waiting for users to report violations.
The report also showed that 94.5% of violating videos were removed within 24 hours of publication.
However, some videos were restored after additional reviews.
A total of 519,075 videos were reinstated in Pakistan following further assessments.
