Remove a TikTok video or fake account about you

What we remove on TikTok

• Videos posted without your consent: hidden-camera clips, private moments, footage filmed at work or school.
• Videos sharing your personal information: name with address, phone number, GCash number or ID.
• Harassment videos that target you by name, including “exposé” and call-out videos.
• Poser accounts (“may poser ako sa TikTok”) that use your name or photos.
• Re-uploads, duets and stitches of a removed video, and the same clip on other accounts.

Privacy and harassment reports

TikTok’s Community Guidelines forbid sharing personal information that can lead to harm, such as stalking or fraud, and forbid harassment and bullying of private individuals. A report from inside the app goes to moderation with a reason chosen from a list. Choosing the wrong reason is the first cause of refusal.

TikTok also has a privacy report web form in its legal section, for people whose personal data appears in a video. We use it when the problem is your data rather than a rule broken in the video, and we describe exactly which part of the video identifies you.

Impersonation reports

For a fake account, the in-app route is Report, then the account option for pretending to be someone else. TikTok also accepts impersonation reports through its online support form, which does not require you to have an account. In both cases TikTok asks the person impersonated, or their representative, to prove who they are, usually with a government ID.

We prepare the report with the fake profile link, screenshots of your real profile photos, and the ID you choose to provide. Your ID goes to TikTok only and we delete our copy when the case is closed.

Re-uploads and duets

A removed TikTok often comes back: someone saved it, posts it on a new account, or shares it as a duet or stitch with commentary. Each new video needs its own report, but it is faster the second time because we cite the earlier decision.

The 20 link pack and the monthly plans include monitoring, so new copies are reported as they appear. If the clip also spreads on YouTube Shorts or Facebook Reels, see remove a YouTube video about you and remove Facebook posts about you.

Defamatory videos

TikTok does not judge whether a claim is true. A video saying you are a scammer or a cheater is removed when it breaks a rule: harassment, your personal data, or a private video of you. When it only expresses an opinion, we tell you so during the assessment. False accusations can be a criminal matter under the Cybercrime Prevention Act (RA 10175); we are not a law firm and suggest a lawyer for that route.

When TikTok refuses

1. We appeal or report again under a better-matching reason, with more context.
2. We use the privacy web form when the in-app report failed.
3. We remove the Google result for the video page where Google’s policies allow it.

Honest limits

• Videos shared in private messages or saved on phones are out of reach.
• Satire and commentary about public figures are usually allowed by TikTok.
