TikTok to lay off hundreds of UK content moderators

  • TikTok is putting hundreds of jobs at risk in the UK, as it turns to artificial intelligence to assess problematic content.
  • The move comes amid increased requirements for companies to check content on their platforms and the age of viewers under the UK's Online Safety Act.
  • TikTok says the reorganization will help it concentrate operations globally and maximize effectiveness with technological advancements, while the union raises concerns over relying on 'immature AI alternatives'.
