TikTok Removes Over 1 Million Videos in Morocco During Q1 of 2025
The social media giant took down 1,040,981 videos between January and March for violating its community standards, with the vast majority identified through automated systems before users could report them.
The platform said it achieved a 98.9% proactive removal rate in Morocco, meaning nearly all violative content was detected and removed without requiring user reports.
Additionally, 92.1% of the removed videos were taken down within 24 hours of being posted, demonstrating what TikTok calls 'strong moderation efficiency' in the North African country.
Beyond short-form video content, TikTok also intensified its enforcement of live streaming violations in Morocco during the quarter, banning 44,121 live hosts and disrupting 77,396 livestreams for breaching community guidelines.
The numbers reflect the company's expanded focus on real-time content moderation.
However, 53,525 videos were restored in Morocco after successful appeals, indicating the company's willingness to reverse decisions when users demonstrate that content was removed in error.
The enforcement actions in Morocco were part of a broader regional crackdown that saw TikTok remove over 16.5 million videos across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Iraq recorded the highest number of removals with 10 million videos taken down, followed by Egypt with over 2.9 million removals. The United Arab Emirates saw 1,051,226 video removals, while Lebanon had 1,349,478 videos removed.
All countries in the region maintained proactive removal rates above 98%, with response times consistently under 24 hours for the majority of violations.
TikTok's global enforcement efforts also extended to live content, where the platform 'stopped more than 19 million violative livestreams worldwide in Q1 2025 — a 50% increase from the previous quarter.'
The company attributes this surge to enhanced automated moderation technologies capable of detecting policy violations in real-time streaming content.
The platform maintained its commitment to transparency through an appeals process that allows users to contest moderation decisions.
'Upholding community guidelines remains a core priority for the platform,' TikTok said in its report.
The platform adopts a hybrid approach that combines automated detection systems with human moderation review, and users are always informed when content is removed and retain the ability to appeal these decisions.
The company indicated that its Q1 2025 figures reflect an 'evolving approach to community protection' that combines advanced technology with human oversight and community partnerships. Tags: TikTok in MoroccoTikTok videosTikTok videos in Morocco

Morocco Continues to Strengthen Position as Key Fertilizer Supplier to India
Rabat – Morocco continues to strengthen its position as a fertilizer supplier for many countries, including India. Last week, India's Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Anupriya Patel, said Morocco is among the alternative suppliers for India in terms of water-soluble fertilizers. She told the Indian parliament that a 'significant quantity is important from China as well as alternative suppliers like Belgium, Egypt, Germany, and the USA.' Morocco's OCP Group is one of the leading and giant fertilizer suppliers. In 2023, the Moroccan fertilizer giant announced a deal with India to supply the country with 1.7 million metric tonnes of phosphate-based fertilizer. The agreement sought to provide India with up to 700,000 MT of Triple Super Phosphate. It is a phosphate-based fertilizer that has the highest phosphate content. The fertilizers can be used to meet the specific needs of plants and soils in India. The agreement also includes the delivery of 1,000,000 tons of diamonium phosphate to Indian farmers. In July, OCP Nutricrops celebrated surpassing five million tonnes of Tripe Super Phosphate fertilizer production. The fertilizer is also known as TSP, a key concentrated phosphate fertilizer that contains over 90% of phosphorus in a plant-available form. This makes it suitable for nutrient-deficient soils and smart fertilizer strategies. Morocco's phosphates and their derivatives' exports brought in $2 billion to the North African country in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 18.2%.

Qatar Airways Boosts Flights to Casablanca in Winter 2025 Schedule
Marrakech – Qatar Airways has announced an increase in its flight frequency to Casablanca as part of its expanded winter schedule for 2025. The airline will raise its service from four to five weekly flights to meet growing demand and enhance connectivity through its Doha hub, Hamad International Airport. Casablanca, Morocco's economic capital and largest city, is among several key global destinations benefiting from increased frequency this winter. This initiative is part of Qatar Airways' efforts to strengthen its presence in the Moroccan market, enabling it to reinforce connections between Africa, the Middle East, and the rest of the world. For the Qatari carrier, Casablanca remains a privileged access point to the North African country's centuries-old heritage and contemporary prospects. The increased service aims to offer passengers more options for traveling to and from the city and to multiply connections to other destinations from the Doha hub. The World's Best Airline, as voted by Skytrax in 2025 for a record ninth time, has introduced increased flights to over 15 global destinations for this year's winter season. The airline is facilitating demand for its services and continues to offer greater choice and connectivity, the company stated in a recent press release. Among the most notable increases in the winter 2025-2026 schedule is London Heathrow service, which will now operate up to 10 daily flights – a record frequency for Qatar Airways on this route, complemented by British Airways' double daily flights. According to the airline, this reflects strong demand for key destinations like London, Dublin, Cape Town, and São Paulo. For the winter 2025-2026 season, Qatar Airways is increasing flight frequencies to several major cities including Abu Dhabi (up to 6 daily flights), Berlin (up to 21 weekly flights), Cape Town (up to 12 weekly flights), Dublin (17 weekly flights), Frankfurt (21 weekly flights), and Johannesburg (18 weekly flights). The airline is also expanding service to London Heathrow (up to 10 daily flights), Madrid (17 weekly flights), the Maldives (up to 4 daily flights), Manchester (24 weekly flights), Phuket (up to 4 daily flights), São Paulo (18 weekly flights), Sharjah (7 daily flights), Tokyo Narita (14 weekly flights), and Toronto (7 weekly flights).

In a recent report, Ookla, the globally recognized leader in internet performance testing, spotlighted Qatar Airways as one of the best-performing airlines using in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity, with median download speeds of 120.6 Mbps. This achievement follows the airline's milestone announcement on October 22, 2024, when Qatar Airways operated the world's first Starlink-equipped Boeing 777 aircraft from Doha to London. Qatar Airways currently flies to over 170 destinations worldwide, connecting through its Doha hub, Hamad International Airport, the 'Best Airport in the Middle East' for 11 consecutive years. Over the years, the airline has consistently expanded and enhanced its network by continually anticipating market trends and evolving travel demands to cater to both leisure and business travelers.
