Overview
- Since the World Cup began on June 11 FIFA's monitoring system has removed 388,000 harmful posts, a total larger than the 287,000 removals recorded across the entire 2022 tournament.
- FIFA says its Social Media Protection Service has reviewed more than 250 million posts since launch and identified over 30 million as harmful, using automated flagging and human review to find abusive content.
- FIFA held a public event in Atlanta with TikTok and the City of Atlanta to gather players, tech partners and local officials to push education, platform coordination and clearer escalation to law enforcement.
- Reuters reporting from earlier coverage shows cross-border enforcement has followed some cases, with 11 people in seven countries referred to police in 2025 and one case sent to Interpol.
- Stadium actions and pre-match messaging are being used to reach fans directly, while outlets note short-term review tallies differ between reports so FIFA's agency figures should be read as company-released metrics rather than independent audits.
