ByteDance / TikTok · Tanzania

During Tanzania's 2025 general election, TikTok worked with the Independent Electoral Commission of Tanzania and Nukta Fact to launch a Swahili Election Center and partnered with Code for Africa on fact-checking. The platform requires creators to label realistic AI-generated content and uses C2PA Content Credentials to help identify AIGC generated on external platforms.

Election-safety products are localized into Swahili, while Tanzania's election authority, Nukta Fact, and Code for Africa provide local factual and contextual judgments.

Record note: The 20+ fact-checking organizations figure is a global partnership scale and should not be treated as the scale of the Tanzania project; this row distinguishes the two. ⚠ 2026-09-13 全库回扫处置：本条经回扫复核判定为「仅宣布、未落地」。唯一相关来源是 TikTok 自家 newsroom 2025-10-22 的选前公告（投票日 10-29），正文自陈服务将在「in the weeks to come」提供，属前瞻表述，不支撑 Landed；该稿含未替换的模板占位符「reliable sources on THIS」，系跨 200 余场选举的通用模板，故 reliability 不足 Medium。other_sources_text 的 aupartnership 实测为 2024-03-19 非盟 #SaferTogether 稿件、首发加纳，未提坦桑尼亚及本记录任一合作方，与本条无关，予以删除；原两条来源同属 TikTok 自证，事实源头仅 1 个。Nukta Africa 项目页为本记录列明的当事合作方自证，不计独立来源。本次改动：deployment_status 降为 Announced-concrete、reliability 降为 Low、删除上述无关来源。恢复 Landed 须同时满足：(a) 至少一条独立第三方来源（署名记者采写报道、坦桑 TCRA 或 INEC 在册公告、独立研究机构实地报告）；(b) 该来源须为 2025-11 之后的运行态证据，并正面处理坦桑 2025 大选自投票日起近全国性断网、10-31 仍未解除这一事实。
