A Sky News investigation found Nazi speeches and marching music have been turned into popular sounds on TikTok and are being used as soundtracks on at least 72,534 posts.
Videos using these sounds have attracted high levels of engagement on the platform, with some receiving millions of likes from social media users.
A TikTok spokesperson said: "This content was immediately removed for breaching our strict policies against hate speech.
"We regularly train our safety professionals and update our safeguards to detect hateful behaviour on an ongoing basis, and we remove 91% of this type of content before it is reported to us."
