India and the U.S. also topped TikTok’s list for total government requests for information.

The company said it produced data in response to 90% of the 302 requests it received in India and 82% of the 100 requests in the U.S.

TikTok said it also received 45 requests from government agencies in 10 countries to remove or restrict content, with India accounting for 30 of those requests.

Between the lines: China isn’t mentioned in the report. TikTok isn’t available in the country, and the company notes that it didn’t receive any requests from governments other than those identified in the report.

However, a similar, separate app offered by TikTok’s parent company is popular in China and has to abide by the country’s strict censorship rules.
